Architecture students have tremendous tools at their disposal. Students work with advanced 3-D computer design software in our technology labs, and create photo-realistic renderings such as the one seen below.
This rendering created by G.K. Timmerman, a second-year architecture student, shows the level of detail that can be produced with the advanced software in the Industrial Technology computer labs.
Building Information Modeling (BIM) software, such as Tekla or ArchiCAD, can enable architects to generate very accurate cost estimates, produce construction timelines, and view precise technical details about an entire building project.
