summary	According to literature in education, adults learn best when learning is active, self-directed, problem-based, and relevant to their needs. In Building Construction Education, construction site visits provide students with real-life practical experience which are considered an extension for classroom. Nevertheless, it is challenging to integrate construction site visits regularly during the academic semester with respect to the class specific needs. Virtual Reality as an interactive immersive technology may facilitate virtual construction site that meets the learning needs where students can explore and build in a real scale environment. The proposed VR environment is an HMD VR platform for construction detailing that provides experiential learning in a zero-risk environment. It builds on integrating VR technology as a medium and Building Information Modeling (BIM) as a repository of information. This work discusses the proposed environment curricular unit prototype design, implementation, and validation. System usability and immersion are assessed both qualitatively and quantitatively. After considering the feedback, The VR environment prototype is then validated on the level of learning outcomes, providing the evidence that it would enhance students’ engagement, motivation and achievement accordingly.
