The buildings of the future need qualified and inspired architects today. Combining creativity with the hands-on world of construction, Fanshawe's Architectural Technology program will introduce you to the dynamic, exciting and always in-demand world of building design.
The potential for growth and career satisfaction in the architectural field is high. With your advanced diploma, you'll learn the principles of design, focusing your ideas into projects that have the potential to succeed. As well, you'll learn about contemporary building methods, and structural and environmental engineering in our architecture technology courses. With the promising growth of environmentally sustainable buildings, our technology-focused program will give you the knowledge of the latest architectural trends and techniques. Through our building inspector courses, you'll be able to follow your passions and hone the skills that excite you.
Hands-on learning in our architecture technology courses
You'll also gain hands-on knowledge of how buildings are created from their inception to completion and their inspection by working on realistic residential, industrial, commercial and institutional projects. All this will be topped off with four paid co-op work terms.
When you graduate, you'll be qualified to work as a plans examiner, building inspector, draftsperson, facilities manager, or even as a technical sales representative. Your passions and strengths will determine your career path in this diverse field.
