The main room of the Architecture program includes the drafting stations, a well-equipped work room for model construction, research areas, and more. Across the hall is the CAD room, with oversize plotters for full-color, oversized printouts of the 3D renderings of student designs, as well as for the printing of meticulously designed blueprints. .
Students learn a high level of problem solving ability with practical applications.
They have learned high levels of skills in drafting, model-building, rendering and both functional and aesthetic design. Many students have found their future occupation through their introduction in the architecture program. Others, who have not gone into the particular fields, have come back to state that the experiences they have had in these classes have been some of the most influential on their lives. Year after year, student work has received numerous awards from the Los Angeles and California State fairs A major project in Architecture is the construction of 3D-models in conjuction with the designed blueprints. This lakeshore home was built by 9th grade student Frank Mahan, Jr. in 1995.
