Description:
In a lab designed to resemble an architect's office, students will study a balanced curriculum of residential and commercial architecture. You will learn wood framed detailing as well commercial assemblies involving steel, concrete and brick. Within the lab, you will be assigned your own workstation and will draft house and building designs in a variety of state-of-the-industry software products. Upon completion of this program you will have the skills necessary to work for a residential design-build firm, a commercial product manufacturer or a materials vendor. If you choose to study further, this program articulates directly into the 55 credit Architectural Technology Diploma.
