Students from the School of Planning, Design and Construction have the opportunity to participate in commercial and residential competitions each year as part of their membership in the MSU Student Builders and Contractors Association.
As part of the competition experience, students work together in disciplinary and interdisciplinary project teams to deliver solutions to real-life problems they would likely face in the industry as professionals. They compete in the national arena with other student teams from reputable schools across the country.
Past competition teams have included students from the Construction Management, Interior Design and Landscape Architecture programs.
