Building and Property Maintenance
Major
Overview
Take a moment to think of all the different mechanical and electrical systems in a big building like a hospital or high-rise apartment. There's heating and air-conditioning, security, telecommunications, and so on. It takes a lot of work to keep these systems functioning properly and safely.
If you choose to major in building and property maintenance, you’ll learn how to take care of all the parts of a building -- be it old or new, large or small, residential or commercial. You’ll also learn skills such as painting, pool care, and lawn care to help keep buildings and their exteriors looking neat and tidy.
