Architectural Technology

Architectural Technology is a program taught at Algonquin College, Canada. Intake: Fall, Spring. The program is offered in campus-based modes with full-time (3 Years) options.

Architectural Technology (Co-op and Non Co-op Version) is a three-year Ontario College Advanced Diploma that teaches skills to support building projects through the design and development process in the architecture and construction fields. Students start with residential construction and progress to studying commercial construction of large buildings. The program covers working drawings, methods and materials of construction, building codes and standards, visual communications, building design, and environmental systems.

Learning uses a project-based, integrated studies approach with applied and theoretical learning. Students also participate in applied research co-op field projects and/or field projects for hands-on workplace experience. In the final year, students take part in an authentic team-based project that brings together design, building construction, and structural and mechanical layout design for a commercial building assembly, supported by tools such as AutoCAD and Revit.

Graduates may pursue work with architects’ offices, contractors, engineering offices, building materials sales representatives, municipal offices such as the City of Ottawa, federal and provincial agencies dealing with construction, drafting service offices using AutoCAD and Revit, real estate and facilities management companies, and construction, maintenance, and planning service companies. Students also have the option to gain real-world experience through a paid co-operative education (co-op) work term, subject to availability and academic eligibility.
