Architecture & Sustainable Design Lab Tour
Think you have what it takes to design the future? Meet Professor Dorothy Gerring who will give you a tour of the hands-on studio spaces on the campus of Pennsylvania College of Technology.
Technology has redefined building design and planning. At Penn College, you’ll learn how to harness industry-leading software to create the buildings of tomorrow. Coursework covers everything from mechanical and structural systems to estimating, building design, and more. With expert faculty by your side and lots of hands-on hours in the lab, you’ll be ready to take on tomorrow in as few as four semesters!
Next steps...
You're on your way to becoming a tomorrow maker.
At Penn College, we believe your educational experience should go beyond specialized skills. Real-world ready means taking a broader approach that builds communication skills, inspires collaboration, and encourages exploration of arts, history, and science.
Specialization requires in-depth knowledge and high-level proficiency. Students learn and apply major-specific concepts, skills, and methods.
Perspectives are points of view, offering a variety of ways of understanding, interacting, and influencing the world. Students identify, explain, and utilize the approaches used by academics and professionals to study, analyze, or understand problems, and offer solutions.
Think you have what it takes to design the future? Meet Professor Dorothy Gerring who will give you a tour of the hands-on studio spaces on the campus of Pennsylvania College of Technology.
Bring your latest designs to life our expansive labs outfitted with the latest software from AutoCAD, Revit, Trimble Sketchup, and Adobe Photoshop.
"Most colleges have teachers - I had seasoned professionals showing me the way it was in the real world. Most of my friends who graduated from other institutions had very little knowledge of what they were getting into with their respective career choices. I knew what I was getting into and was way ahead of the competition."
