The construction industry in the metro Atlanta and broader Southeast region is experiencing significant growth, fueled by a strong demand for new and repurposed projects, pandemic-related supply-demand challenges, and impending high retirement rates. This scenario underscores the critical need for skilled professionals, positioning Georgia Tech School of Building Construction graduates as invaluable assets.

Our program stands out for its emphasis on technology and innovation, a diverse and expanding faculty, and cross-disciplinary learning opportunities offered in conjunction with the Institute's other colleges—Engineering, Business, Sciences, Computing, and Liberal Arts.

Through our Corporate Partners Program, companies gain exclusive access to engage with our students via professional activities, mentoring, resume and interview preparation, project competitions, and sponsorship of student organizations, ensuring a direct connection to top-tier talent.
