Program overview

The Architectural Technologies diploma at SAIT in Calgary prepares you to turn architectural visions into buildable reality. Over two years you’ll master drafting and design, building systems, construction documentation, and the CAD and BIM software architectural firms and builders rely on.

Through individual and team projects each semester — culminating in a real-world capstone — you’ll develop the technical precision and problem-solving skills to work as an architectural technologist in design and construction.
