91����

This semester, architecture and building construction science students at Mississippi State University have worked on a design proposal for a boathouse facility for the Sanderson Center’s Chadwick Lake on campus. Led by the School of 91����’s John Ross, Annette Vise and Charlyn King and the Department of Building Construction Science’s Mohsen Garshasby and Briar Jones, the studio course brings together students in their second-year of study in both disciplines each fall to work on a collaborative project.

Ross, this semester’s studio coordinator, said architecture students were mainly responsible for the overall design of the boathouse, while building construction science students focused on site development plans, the construction sequencing/schedule, material sourcing and pricing for the project.

Of 20 total student projects, the Sanderson Center’s Patrik Nordin helped to select three top projects, which will be on display through the end of the month at the Sanderson Center.

Warner A. Michael, a junior building construction science major from Corinth, said this was the first time he’s worked on a project with architecture students.

“The architects in my group did a great job, and both sides worked off each other well,” he said.

“I have now gained experience working with people in other professions, which will help during jobs in the future, and having both the BCS perspective and architectural perspective on the project brought in more ideas and solutions to problems we faced.”
