Mock-ups play a critical role in commercial construction by translating design intent into buildable solutions. They can help contractors determine the proper construction sequences for intricate details, show off how elements and colors come together, and set up workmanship tolerances for a project. Early mock-up construction often informs key design decisions and reduces uncertainty during installation. Join us to examine...

Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are becoming an increasingly powerful tool for architects, planners, and facility managers—far beyond mapping alone. This course provides a practical overview of GIS technology and demonstrates how it is being applied across campus environments to improve planning, operations, and decision-making.
