Traditional pedagogical methods that rely on static 2D drawings often fail to effectively convey the spatial and functional complexities of architectural, structural, and Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing (MEP) systems. To address this limitation, the study introduces a multi-phase methodology that guides students from interpreting 2D plans to engaging with dynamic 3D models and immersive environments. Utilizing platforms such as Autodesk Navisworks and Workshop XR, students gain hands-on experience navigating virtual building projects, thereby fostering deeper comprehension, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills. The implementation centers on a selected building project, through which students participate in structured visualization exercises and collaborative activities. Anticipated outcomes include increased student engagement, enhanced interdisciplinary understanding of architectural and MEP systems, and strengthened partnerships with industry stakeholders. This approach bridges the gap between theoretical instruction and practical application, equipping students with the digital literacy and analytical capabilities required to meet the evolving demands ofthe construction industry.  \nKeywords: Technology Integration, Virtual Reality, BIM, Digital Construction, Construction Management, 2D Prints, 3D Modeling.  \nIntroduction  \nIn the dynamic and rapidly evolving field of construction management, the ability to accurately visualize and interpret architectural, site, foundation, structural, and Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing (MEP) plans is essential. These documents serve as the foundational blueprint for construction projects, guiding every phase from initial design through final execution. However, traditional instructional methods, primarily reliant on two dimensional (2D) printed drawings, often fall short in helping students fully comprehend the spatial and functional relationships inherent in complex building systems.  \nThis proposal advocates for the integration of emerging technologies into construction management education to enhance students’ understanding of these critical documents plans (Chen et al., 2022; Kissi et al., 2023) . By incorporating 2D prints, three dimensional (3D) modeling, and immersive environments, the initiative aims to create a more engaging and comprehensive learning experience.  \nW. Collins, A.
