Program Details

Architectural Technology - Advanced School: Loyalist College Faculty: Schools of Architecture and Building Science Degree: Diploma Field of Study: Architectural Technology/Technician Description: Form dictates function. Loyalist students gain an understanding of how physical space can influence behaviour, and the role of architecture in culture. The program combines lab work, class­room instruction, and major building projects in a studio setting. Students work independently and in project teams to plan new construction and renovations. Graduates leave the program with extensive knowledge of construction materials and building codes; computer-assisted drafting (CAD) and 3-D modelling; and effective oral, written, and graphic communication skills. Independent design projects in each year of the program give ­students the opportunity to exercise creativity and analytical skills. Students will determine a structure’s physical needs, and design solutions that creatively address the use of space, costs, construction methods, zoning, and the environment. Then they will bring their concepts to life, creating a 3-D scale model of their designs.
