Architecture
Area of Study Overview
Architecture is the design of structures and buildings. At LAVC, the program is AutoCAD-based, allowing students to produce a wide variety of working drawings for both residential and commercial buildings, and enter the field as an architectural drafter.
The department also offers programs in sustainable construction management for students who are more interested in building, rather than designing.
