Course Title: Site Design

Delivery Method: Live Online

Course Description: All building projects begin with determining where to locate the structure and developing its site to ensure its durability and serviceability over time and its minimal impact on the environment. Once the structure is in place, it’s there to stay. Therefore, it is imperative the site development and design professionals locate and design the site correctly. Failed site design can result in wetland degradation, stormwater problems, erosion and accessibility limitations.

Learning Objectives:

Learning Objective 1:
Learners will be able to participate in site feasibility and conceptual planning that will identify potential constraints and opportunities.

Learning Objective 2:
Learners will be able to identify the design elements for, and distinctions of, residential site planning and commercial, institutional, and recreational site design.

Learning Objective 3:
Learners will be able to explain how site grading for roadways, single family lots, multi-family lots, and commercial lots accomplishes drainage requirements for stormwater, stormwater pollution prevention planning, and septic systems.

Learning Objective 4:
Learners will be able to understand the capabilities, applications and functions of AutoCAD, HydroCAD, 3-D modeling and other programs in site design.

LUs: 7.0                                                                                              LU Type: LU|HSWs.
