In the architecture program, students figure out obstacles they could face on a job site. They analyze the space they are using, know what material they will use and then ultimately come up with a drawing and present their ideas. The construction crew will make make some of those things come to life.
Students in the program have built actual houses for people in Columbus. They've built a baseball complex and pieces of art.
