What does it take to transform a site into a thriving destination?

Students in Clemson’s Master of Real Estate Development (MRED) program recently presented development proposals for a Greenville site during the program’s annual practicum. Working in teams, students developed real-world solutions that balanced economic feasibility, community impact and responsible growth.

The practicum serves as the capstone experience for MRED students, challenging them to apply everything they’ve learned to a real development opportunity and present their ideas to industry professionals.

Congratulations to these future leaders in real estate development and placemaking.

Over the past semester, Construction Science Management faculty member, Kirk Bingenheimer’s Creative Inquiry class has been exploring ways to improve the annual Habitat for Humanity Homecoming build.

Focused on affordability, energy efficiency and durability, the course brings together students from multiple majors, with strong representation from Architecture and Construction Science and Management.

The team is developing a full set of construction documents, takeoffs and a code compliance package to support Pickens County Habitat for Humanity.

Rooted in experiential learning for students and meaningful community outreach, this work aligns with Clemson University’s strategic plan by connecting academic experience with real-world impact.

Building with purpose

The Construction Science and Management (CSM) department partnered with Habitat for Humanity, Women in Construction and Legacy Home of Recovery for the 2nd Annual Tiny Home Veteran’s Build. The project launched with real momentum, powered by Clemson students who came ready to build, learn and lead.

Through meaningful community outreach, this effort connected students directly with partners and veterans, creating an unforgettable, hands-on student experience rooted in service leadership and impact. It’s a powerful example of Clemson Elevate in action, preparing students to make a difference beyond the classroom.

The homes began in Clemson University’s Nieri Department of Construction and Real Estate Development XL Yard, a 3-acre outdoor lab at the Ravenel Research Center, where students gain hands-on experience building full-scale structures and applying classroom knowledge in real-world settings.

The completed homes will provide housing for veterans at Legacy Home in Liberty, SC.
