Abstract	A collaboration based Design and Construction Administration course was offered for the first time at the University of Oklahoma Fall 2006. Students from the Division of Architecture Project Management and Division of Construction Science Construction Administration courses were consolidated into a single required integrated course called Design and Construction Admin istration. The objective is to present and explore collaborative motives, agendas, responsibilities and outcomes between designers and contractors. A survey was used to gather feedback about the effectiveness of the teaching methods discussed in this article . Based on survey results the authors are optimistic about the possibilities of this course and its objectives. As construction project timelines shrink, designs become more complex and the market becomes more competitive success becomes more dependent on collaboration between designers and contractors. The authors believe this collaborative approach for developing and teaching a class focused on the business of design and construction can be replicated by other academic architecture and construction programs. Increasing student awareness of design and construction administration challenges is timely and hopefully will lead to better adjusted industry participants.
