1. Architecture Program Highlights Technology
Cassidy & Company, Architectural Technologists, Hunt Design Associates Inc. Romanov
Romanov, Architects; and LaPointe Architects are just some of the companies looking to
hire grads of the three-year Centennial College architecture program in Ontario — known
officially as Architectural Technology. But just why are these companies looking for
Centennial College grads to work with their architects, engineers, builders, contractors,
developers, and construction material manufacturers and suppliers? Let’s take a look.
•
Faculty members who have advanced degrees, licenses, and credentials in
architecture, architectural technology, building science, engineering, and green
building, including many current industry practitioners, lead the architecture
program.
•
The background of these faculty members is conducive with students receiving an
education that is highly respected in the field.
•
The curriculum of the program is project-based to ensure students obtain
hands-on learning.
•
Each semester focuses on teaching students a different building type
through a strong foundation in technical knowledge.
•
Because of society’s eco-friendly direction, the program emphasizes energy-efficient
design, sustainable design and construction strategies, and protecting the
environment.
