Landscape Architectural Technology

The Landscape Architectural Technology program is designed for those who want to create outdoor spaces that enhance public environments. You will design spaces that future generations will use and enjoy. If you're detail-oriented, passionate about outdoor spaces, and interested in design and emerging technologies, this program is for you.

Throughout your studies, you will explore the practice of landscape architecture and the technologies used to produce designs and construction drawings for a variety of outdoor environments, including streetscapes, plazas, parks, trails, entry features and wayfinding signage. You will gain proficiency in the latest drafting and modeling tools, including AutoCAD, Adobe Creative Suite, SketchUp and ArcGIS.

In addition to hands-on learning, you will have the opportunity to visit some of the places program graduates have designed and participate in an optional co-op placement, which can provide valuable real-world experience.

Graduates of the program are eligible to become members of the Alberta Association of Landscape Architects as landscape architectural technology members. Career opportunities include roles in municipal planning, private consulting firms, or the possibility of starting your own business in landscape design, working for land developers, or collaborating with environmental companies.
