Course Number: 12-605

In this course, students will work on an interdisciplinary, design-build project to improve the quality of life through design interventions on campus. The semester will begin with a review of design proposals developed during the Fall semester, and through a collaborative process the class will determine what can be built given budgetary and workforce constraints.

Students will complete construction documents, develop project management plans, build full scale prototypes, procure materials, and construct the designs.
