What We Do in Construction

Aqua Separator

Skills for the Future

The Construction Technologies program allows students to design, estimate, cut, assemble, and build multiple construction projects. They learn fundamentals of construction, employability skills, proper tool use, and interpreting blueprints.

Second-year students work on a larger-scale project, and by graduation, are exposed to most phases of general commercial and residential construction.
