The Architecture Building was designed specifically for Carleton’s architecture program with its large open studio spaces, flexible classrooms, and fully-equipped work stations. Studios are open 24-hours-a-day.
Try the carpentry workshop for the construction of models and prototypes. A consulting firm run by some of the school’s best students offers Ottawa-area homeowners architectural and design services at bargain prices.
