The Building Design & Construction program teaches the processes, procedures and management techniques necessary to function as a "Certified Professional Building Designer (CPBD)" as defined by the American Institute of Building Designers (AIBD). It is designed to prepare students for immediate professional level employment or further study by developing a cohesive, solid technical foundation bolstered by practical, hands-on experiences, at the same time providing the education necessary for lifelong learning in a changing world. The process of learning is emphasized, as well as accumulation of knowledge. The multi-disciplinary curriculum is composed of courses in the areas of building design, construction management, interior design as well as general education.
The Building Design & Construction curriculum is a "2+2" design facilitating articulation with programs in architecture, building construction, design graphics, facilities and other construction-related degrees. In this regard, articulation agreements are currently in place between Davis Technical College, Ogden-Weber Technical College, Bridgerland Technical College, and Salt Lake Community College. An agreement to transfer into the University of Utah Architecture program is in the works.
