The Architectural Design and Building Construction program offers students real construction experience to prepare them for the many employment opportunities available in construction. Students learn to conceptualize the building process by beginning with a firm foundation in drafting, followed by an introduction to computer-aided drafting (CAD). Using the latest construction methods and under close supervision, they construct a residence inside the Mitchell Technical College building lab.
Additionally, students will be exposed to many techniques and skills required in the area of commercial construction: steel, welding, commercial construction equipment operation, and more. Valuable experience will be gained during a construction internship during the final semester of the program.
What Makes This Program Special?
- Our instructors are Certified Green Professionals
- All our houses are built using Home Energy Rating Standards of Practice
- We focus on energy efficient building practices
- Our students are involved with the National Association of Home Builders (student chapter)
- Bottom line: We are teaching students how to design and build buildings of the future!
- Only program that combines construction and design
Graduates from this program find employment with lumberyards, building contractors, architectural firms, and commercial construction companies. Their skills in CAD, carpentry, surveying, estimating, cabinetry, commercial construction and green building technologies make the students who graduate from this program valuable employees in the building trades industry.

Lisa Jolliff Memorial Scholarship

- Kelly Sterk and Tammy Hanson
In memory of Lisa Marie Jolliff, her family is honored to establish the Lisa Jolliff Memorial Scholarship for a student attending Mitchell Technical College.
Lisa was a caring, giving, loyal, reliable, genuine, and hardworking person. She believed in doing things the right way, keeping her word, helping others, and giving her best in everything she did. She was someone people could count on, and her kindness and genuine concern for others left a lasting impression on everyone fortunate enough to know her.
Lisa was a loving daughter, sister, wife, mother, grandmother, friend, and dedicated member of her community. Her family wanted to find a meaningful way to honor her life and the qualities she represented. Through this scholarship, we hope to continue the spirit of giving that was such an important part of who Lisa was.
The Lisa Marie Jolliff Memorial Scholarship will provide financial assistance to a Mitchell Technical College student who demonstrates dedication, perseverance, a strong work ethic, and a desire to build a successful future through education.
Our family hopes this scholarship will be more than financial assistance. We hope it will be a way for Lisa’s qualities and values to continue to live on.
She was caring. She was giving. She was loyal. She was reliable. She was genuine. She was hardworking.
These are the qualities we remember and cherish, and they are the qualities we hope this scholarship will honor.
By helping a student pursue an education and work toward a future career, we can carry a little piece of Lisa’s legacy forward and allow her spirit of caring and giving to continue touching the lives of others.
In loving memory of Lisa Marie Jolliff— a life that made a difference, and a legacy that will continue.
