Modular Building Project

Students in the first-year Mississippi State University Building Construction Science studios learn about construction with a modular building project. Students go through the entire process of designing, researching and exploring materials and fabrication methods, planning construction, and building every element of the structures. Students are also responsible for creating a comprehensive document explaining the entire design and construction process. The buildings are auctioned off each year to raise funds for supplies and materials each year.

Brasfield & Gorrie Competition

The Brasfield & Gorrie Student Design Competition is an annual interdisciplinary design competition composed of teams of students from each department in the College of Architecture, Art and Design (CAAD) at Mississippi State University. The goal is to expose students to an interdisciplinary project delivery system to facilitate the design of a structure that incorporates sustainability, innovation and LEED construction principles. It is the goal of the competition to overcome preconceived ideas of the roles traditionally assumed by the various disciplines in the college.

Building Construction Science History

The Mississippi State University Building Construction Science (BCS) degree program was established by the Mississippi Board of Trustees of the Institutions of Higher Learning (IHL) in 2006. The program joined the School of Architecture, Department of Art, and Interior Design Program in the College of Architecture, Art and Design – which was established in 2004. 

The BCS Program stemmed from a request from the Mississippi Associated Builders and Contractors in1999.
