Architecture and Construction

Construction/Architecture

This course is an in-depth and comprehensive look at the residential and commercial construction industry. This course begins with a look at building design and floor plan layout. Students will design practical and efficient home floor plans using modern architectural standards. Students then use 3D modeling software to create digital representations of their building designs.  A scale model of student designs will also be constructed.
Following the architectural portion of the class, a 4’x6’ house mock-up will also be constructed. Students will learn through hands-on activities about foundation systems, laying concrete block, flooring systems, wall framing, electrical, plumbing, drywall, finish carpentry, and roofing.
