Studio 804 is a graduate level

design-build studio in which the students work collaboratively to not only design a project but to actually construct it. Studio 804 is a two-semester, 9 month commitment. During the first semester students work collectively to determine a client for the next project. Once a client is established, students usually have 2 months to design the project beginning with the Schematic Design phase and seeing it through to Construction Documents. The second semester usually begins in early January to start off the building process. One home is built by Studio 804 annually.[1]

Students are responsible for acquiring all material for the project, and maintaining the budget.

prefabricated designs which allow for easier, cheaper constructions that can be assembled in a shorted time frame that typical housing projects, the studio has leaned toward two commercial projects the past two years.[3]

Each year roughly 22 students[4] enroll in the program with hopes of receiving their Masters and a prestigious building to add to their résumé.

The mission of the studio is very similar to that of the famous Rural Studio pioneered by Samuel Mockbee at Auburn University.
