Architectural Technology is a three year career program with
numerous career opportunities and a great record of employment
for our graduates. Students beginning the program require no
background in drawing or computers. Architectural Technology
is a challenging and rewarding career choice. The construction
industry is an exciting field, constantly evolving using new
technologies and materials. We are a small department where students
learn in a friendly environment and have the opportunity to build
strong friendships.

Computer Courses and Facilities
Our students are well trained in the use of CAD (Computer Assisted
Drawing). Students produce the following computer generated drawing
types:
• Construction drawings
• Colour presentation drawings of buildings
• Three-dimensional models
• Perspectives and renderings
• Animated virtual tours of a building.
The computer lab has some of the most current software and
printing devices as well as a dedicated lab technician to help
the students on a daily basis. Students graduate with skills
in both manual and computer aided drawing.
Faculty
We are full and part-time teachers trained as architects and
engineers. We make ourselves available to students outside of
class time with offices near the drafting and computer rooms.
We have an advisory board made up of graduates and professionals
who maintain our link with the workplace
