COLL 132: HOW TO BUILD
Spring 2024 · Section 001 · CRN 25533
We spend 90% of our time indoors, yet many of us are unfamiliar with the process of building and maintaining the spaces we occupy every day. In this course, students will learn the nuts and bolts of construction and renovations in addition to understanding the feasibility of construction projects. This course will be hands-on; students will learn from professionals who work in the construction industry as well as through short field trips to projects at different stages of completion. In addition to B.U.I.L.D.I.T. assignments – where students will look at successful buildings in their everyday lives – students will put their knowledge into practice through collaborative role play where they will act as different individuals involved in the construction process. What is a resident’s relationship to the building process and the future of the space they occupy? Students will uncover what it takes to be an effective client, a thoughtful builder, and a responsible building occupant.
