IDC was founded in 1947 by Vito P. Battista, R.A. and is located in downtown Brooklyn. Its primary goal is to offer undergraduate and professional training, and to prepare individuals for the building construction industry.

Course is designed to develop in students an awareness of the complexity of modern construction and its related technologies. Students will learn the skills needed to read and understand construction drawings, as well as an understanding of manufacturers' literature of component parts used in buildings. Both commercial and residential construction materials and drawings are studied. Problems encountered in design development such as site limitations, zoning restrictions, utility availability, coordination of product specifications, adherence to building codes, and life safety are explored.
