Forty-three first-year Mississippi State University building construction science students visited Memphis, Tennessee, from Sept. 8-10, 2019.

Students went on a riverboat cruise and had some time on their own to explore during the trip. They also visited four construction sites:

• Memphis International Airport 
• Yates Management team at Cook Convention Center
• Canopy Hilton
• Wiseacre Brewery

Twenty-nine third-year Mississippi State University building construction science students visited Nashville, Tennessee, from Sept. 7-12, 2019.

They visited jobs sites with Brasfield and Gorrie General Contractors, Hoar Construction, Turner Construction Company and Yates Construction.

The companies showed the students the construction sites and provided insight on operations. The visit helped students to further connect what they are learning in studio – scheduling, safety procedures and estimating.
