About the School
Transforming places and spaces at the Georgia Tech pace
Graduates of the School of Building Construction manage construction sites with new technologies and access to Georgia Tech's global research and education influence.
While we certainly understand how to build buildings, we see the job as so much more than that. Where others might see a wall of numbers, we look at efficiency studies and forecasting methods and see how lives are changed by the built environment. Whether we're using drones to perform safety inspections or developing new models to predict investment values, we are creating the next generation of sustainable, cost-effective construction practices.
Our academic programs in building construction — the Master of Science in Building Construction and Facility Management, the Professional Master's in Occupational Safety and Health, the undergraduate certificate in construction management, and our Ph. D. in Building Construction — address entire life cycles of building projects. From site selection through architectural design, engineering, financing, facilities management, sustainability, and energy/resource footprint to eventual renovation or demolition, we merge the creative with the practical to deliver the built environment.
We study how building projects address the needs of their society, the environment, and the economy, and how the built environment shapes those areas in turn. We work across multiple disciplines — architecture, engineering, finance, city planning, and public policy — to meet advancing needs for efficient, sustainable building practices.
