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.
When you define your future at Penn College, you’re investing in yourself. With a degree in Architecture and Sustainable Design, you’re taking that impact to a whole new level. Explore alternative building methods and technologies that promote energy efficiency, preserve natural resources, and reduce negative environmental impacts.
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.
Mixed use studios carve out space for design presentation, computer work, and layout table with designated model-building areas.
Brent designs spaces for retail clients. He also leads a group that has implemented technologies such as 3D scanning and virtual reality.
“3D scanning captures everything on-site, well beyond the tape and laser, which was the old way of doing things,” Brent says. “We bring that data home, and from there we develop construction drawings.”
