First-year students learn about various building industry fields and complete hands-on design projects they present at the end of each year. In previous years, students have designed a combined office and daycare center, as well as condominiums, a recreation center, a restaurant, an arcade and other projects. The scope of these projects can be quite extensive, with our first-year teams preparing plans, drawings and construction schedules for multi-use facilities such as a combined aquarium, fitness club and retail center. This multi-faceted project introduced students to zoning regulations, architectural design, structural engineering, construction engineering and construction administration.

Returning students form teams and participate in the ACE/CIRT national competition as their final project. Each year this competition changes and as we get started we will know more information. More info coming soon for returning students.
