Not all construction work is new construction. As buildings age, as new products and techniques are adopted, and as disasters occur, a specific set of skills is needed for safely taking down structures or restoring them. You will examine the common lifecycles of structures and learn new skills that will be critical for disaster restoration after natural or man-made disasters. You will gain a broad exposure to construction management topics while focusing on these highly specialized areas. Your courses will expose you to project management skills, and your capstone course will allow you to apply your new skills to a well-integrated demolition and disaster restoration project management process and solution. This built environment degree plan of study includes technical and managerial concepts for reconstruction interwoven throughout the coursework.
