Organizations such as Architecture for Humanity, Architects Without

Borders and other non-prot architecture design organizations are

interested in service-learning to aid those throughout the worldthat have been affected by poverty, war and natural disasters.The students working on this research worked with the Starkville

Area Habitat for Humanity to design the upcoming Maroon Edition2013 house to be constructed in the fall semester of 2013. The classwas composed of students from the School of Architecture andthe Department of Building Construction Science. Students met

and worked directly with the future homeowners for the house inaddition to members of the Starkville Habitat for Humanity board.

The research studied the effects of service-learning on Millennialstudents working on architecture design and construction. Thestudents worked as a team to design the house, as well as createthe construction drawings that will be needed to order materials

and construct the house. Students developed critical professional

skills in addition to the design skills inherent in architecture

education. These include the ability to utilize modular materials

for construction detailing to limit the expense of the houseconstruction, the ability to complete a construction budgetestimate to help provide guidance on the expense of the

construction of the student design, and the ability to completea construction schedule for the project to understand the timeimplications of design for a non-prot client.

The service-learning aspect of the research exposed studentsto a new way of learning and looking at an architectural designand construction project. They were able to partner with a

real-world client, not just imagine how to work with them. Thishelped the students better understand the needs of their client,and the community. A more developed sense of the effectsof architecture as service was achieved through the student

research.
