Development of a multi-use construction engineering and management classroom/laboratory

Engineering education requires a combination of classroom training, hands-on experience, and industry participation. In addition, students must become fairly well versed in the use of the technological tools of the trade. In order to accomplish these goals, engineering programs must develop innovation use of space and provide state-of-the-art technologies that can be used by both the students and the instructional staff. The contents of this paper describe: 1) the overall conceptual plan of the CCL, 2) the proposed use of the CCL (use analysis), 3) the equipment and technologies for the CCL, 4) the phased construction schedule, and 5) a summary of the work completed.
