Buildings, houses, parking lots and garages - private and commercial 
structures were once natural, blank slates that were planned, designed, and molded into what they are today.  This 4-hour interactive online course covers all aspects in the design and planning of sites. Based on the Department of the Army's Technical Manual, Site Planning and Design, several areas are covered including site reconnaissance, the placement of utilities, grading the site, placement of buildings, and sight distance. This course provides the knowledge to design an efficient and economical site that works in harmony with the natural conditions of the area.
