ARCH 353 CONSTRUCTION TECHNOLOGY III
Credits: 3(2,0,4) Prerequisite: ARCH252
The course focuses on construction drawings and integrated systems. Students learn how to
make technically precise drawings for proposed designs.

ARCH 354 SPECIFICATIONS AND QUANTITIES
Credits: 2(2,0,2) Prerequisite: ARCH353

This course covers the fundamentals of quantity surveying, building costs, life-cycle costs, and
construction estimating. Practice in writing outline specifications for proposed designs is an
integral part of the course.

ARCH 364 ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROL I
Credits: 2(2,2,0) Prerequisites: ARCH 251, Junior Standing
The course covers a vast array of energy-related issues as they apply to site planning and
architectural design. Topics include: thermal design comfort, site climate analysis, building
thermal response, and solar system design; air treatment, distribution systems, and related
energy systems; water resources supplies and treatment, distribution and disposal systems;
together with electrical, vertical transportation, Communications, security, and fire protections
systems.

ARCH 365 ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROL II – BUILDING SYSTEM INTEGRATION /ACOUSTICS
Credits: 2(2,2,0) Prerequisite: ARCH364
This course discusses the development and application of visual/auditory comfort criteria,
lighting and acoustical design, and their respective design implications.

ARCH 401 SPECIAL TOPICS IN ARCHITECTURE
Credits: 3(3,0,0) Prerequisite: None

This course allows specialized, in-depth studies of subjects supplementing architecture. It
explores new topics on an experimental basis, appropriate for testing interest and ability in
architecture.

ARCH 411 ARCHITECTURE DESIGN V
Credits: 4(1,0,7) Prerequisite: ARCH 311 (Co-Op option); ARCH312(Internship option)

The object of the course is for students to design comprehensive architectural projects for
institutional buildings. Areas dealt with include development of programmed spaces
demonstratinganunderstandingofstructuralandenvironmentalsystems, building envelope
systems, life-safety provisions, wall sections, building assemblies and the principles of
sustainability.

ARCH 412 URBAN DESIGN STUDIO
Credits: 4(1,0,7) Prerequisite: ARCH411

The course discusses design processes featured in existing urban environments and calls on
students to critically assess site and program, and creatively integrate the role of service to the
public as client.
