CATALOGUE DESCRIPTION: LA 3644 Landscape Architecture Construction 2  (4)
(Prerequisite: none; recommended LA 3544). Two hours lecture. Four hours studio/lab. Calculations for storm- water management, best management practices (BMP), surface and subsurface drainage systems, basic hydrology and erosion and sediment control design and practices

COURSE GOAL: To introduce students to the methods, procedures, and office practices of landscape architectural construction emphasizing the use of BMPs to control the quality and quantity of stormwater runoff.

COURSE OBJECTIVES:
On satisfactory completion of this course students will:

  • Have a working knowledge of calculating runoff rates, volumes, and required detention storage using traditional methods.
  • Have a working knowledge of innovative uses of stormwater BMP's within the context of Low Impact Development.
  • Be able to design LID solutions at the watershed scale.
  • Be able to design LID solutions at the site scale.
  • Demonstrate this knowledge by installing solutions at sites in and around Starkville.
