Western's Architectural Technician program is a blend of art and science, of beauty and practicality. In this program, you'll acquire the skills needed to design residential and commercial buildings that are not only functional and integrated into their surroundings, but also economically viable.
Consider this program if you possess excellent computer skills and a deep interest in building and design. We place heavy emphasis on Building Information Modelling (BIM), while also covering practical aspects such as selecting building materials, estimating, understanding structural principles, and learning about building systems.
A key highlight of the program is the capstone project, which guides students from initial building proposals through the preparation of construction documents, providing a hands-on experience that reinforces your knowledge and skills.
This program spans four consecutive terms, including Fall, Spring, Summer, and Fall, ensuring a comprehensive and immersive education in architectural technology.
