Humber’s Architectural Technology diploma program will train you to use your logical and critical thinking skills as you apply architectural technology to construction and building design. You’ll learn from full-time, award-winning professors and licensed architects who bring real-life perspective and valuable industry contacts to you. The curriculum is designed with industry collaboration, ensuring you are learning current and relevant material. In the Architectural Technology program, you will learn: – computer-aided drawing, building methods and project management using the most current computer programs, such as AutoCAD and Revit (Building Information Modelling) – construction technologies for materials such as wood frame, steel, masonry and precast concrete, and project management skills – hands-on skills, including building code, building specifications, estimating, and structural and mechanical knowledge – sustainable design skills needed in today’s eco-friendly architectural technology field. Courses include instruction in freehand sketching, history of architecture, renovation and restoration, site planning, and technical communications. Architectural Technology electives include bath and kitchen, interior detailing, building code (legal), small building residential design and more.

Build a strong future for yourself with a career in architectural technology. Building construction is expected to continue to grow according to a 2014 survey by the Ontario Construction Secretariat. The same survey said contractors expect the number of skilled laborers to decline, providing a need for new graduates to enter the architectural technology field. Our graduates work: – in producing design and construction documents for architectural offices – as project co-ordinators, estimators and project inspectors for contracting firms – as housing specialists for design firms – as sales representatives for construction equipment manufacturers – as building inspectors and plan examiners for municipalities. The rapid growth in construction and building in Toronto and southern Ontario, combined with Humber’s strong reputation in the industry, provides graduates with strong employment opportunities.
