The future Construction Management building will provide facilities explicitly designed to support hands-on construction education. The new building will sit on the site of the former Air Conditioning Building, which was found to be structurally unsound. The building is 46,000 square feet and is the first phase of several planned projects. This will house many unique labs designed around specific segments of the industry including the Simpson Strong-Tie Materials Demonstration Lab. This project will support an innovative approach to preparing future professionals and construction managers.
