The Architectural Technologist is a vital team member in the construction industry. You will be trained to participate in all phases of a construction project. It is important to note that the Architectural Technology and Civil Engineering Technology programs share a common first year with subsequent semester studies leading to specialization in our field.

The curriculum is a blend of construction procedures and architectural design practices. The production of architectural drawings using the latest versions of Auto Cad and Revit, along with the documents necessary to construct a project is the primary focus of the program.

LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) and Sustainable Design are major modules in the architectural project labs and the Contract Administration sessions.

Architectural project labs cover wood frame construction, masonry, steel, concrete, and composite construction techniques.

Visits to local construction sites are an integral part of the learning experience.

Employment Opportunities: 

As a graduate of this program, the skills and knowledge acquired will enable you to pursue career opportunities in the construction industry as an Architectural or Engineering Assistant, Project Manager, Computer Aided Draftsperson, Field Supervisor, Specification Writer, Model Maker, Estimator, Clerk of Works, Inspector, Laboratory Assistant, Systems Representative, and many other related positions.

Admission Requirements: 
  1. Ontario Secondary School Diploma (or equivalent) with courses from the College (C), University (U), University/College (U/C), or Open (O) preparation levels.
  2. or successful completion of  the Mature Student Assessment
  3. or appropriate credits from the Academic and Career Entrance program (ACE).

AND Courses Required:

  • Grade 12 English (College or University Preparation)
  • Grade 11 MCF3M Functions and Applications or MCR3U Functions or Grade 12 MAP4C Foundations for College Math or MCT4C Mathematics for College Technology or University Preparation.

You will be assessed to determine your math placement. Assessment will determine whether you will be placed in MA115 or MA215.

If you do not meet the entrance requirements, we encourage you to apply for the Pre-Technology program to facilitate success in your technology path.
