Think you have what it takes to design the future? Meet Dorothy J. Gerring, associate professor of architectural technology and 31-year member of the Penn College faculty, who discusses the program and leads a virtual tour of the hands-on studio spaces on the second floor of the Carl Building Technologies Center. Outlining how the college's two architectural degrees prepare graduates for immedite employment, Gerring says "We have a really good blend of our classes between not only some of the theoretical things – 'cause you have to be able to imagine and understand how concepts fit into things over time and across different disciplines – but also very, very solid foundational items so that, as soon as you're graduating, you can actually walk in an office and you know what a set of working drawings are, and you can be able to be good on the job from the first day that you're there."
