Real College

By Zurier, Steve
Publication: Builder
Date: Monday, May 1 2006

The Arizona Chapter of Associated General Contractors raised $5 million to create a construction college at Arizona State University (ASU). Now the group is asking the state legislature for $20 million to help build the Del E. Webb School of Construction at ASU. If the plan moves forward, the school would be the first construction school with full college status. The trade group wants the construction school to sit on ASU's main campus, where students could take courses at ASU's engineering, architecture, business, and law schools. The Webb School would offer courses in environmental management, civil engineering, housing, and materials and process management. -S.Z.
