Our new 10-storey, mass-timber building, Limberlost Place, is set to welcome students from the School of Architectural Studies this fall. Learn more about the state-of-the-art building and its innovative spaces and facilities for students. The School of Architectural Studies’ (SAS) three-year Architectural Technology program prepares students to develop into architectural technologists who play a key role in transforming architectural designs into technical construction documents and practical building solutions. This multi-year program equips students with a solid foundation in building design, construction methods, materials, building codes and regulations, sustainable practices, digital practices and software in CAD, digital project delivery, and 3D visualization as well as the latest digital technologies such as 3D laser scanning, digital photogrammetry and aerial reality capture using drones. Through a combination of theoretical knowledge and hands-on studio projects, students develop technical skills in preparing drawings, specifications, cost estimates and other documentation required for residential, commercial, industrial and institutional building projects. The curriculum covers areas such as building science, project management, detailing, site planning and the integration of various building systems. Graduates are trained to collaborate with architects, engineers, contractors and other professionals in the Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) industry. They contribute to the design process, construction documentation, project coordination and on-site supervision. The program prepares students for entry-level roles such as architectural technologists, digital project delivery co-ordinators, junior designers, estimators and project coordinators in various roles within the architecture, engineering and construction industries, as well as government agencies, and related organizations, contributing to the successful execution of building projects from concept to completion. | |||||
