Department of Architectural Science at the Toronto Metropolitan University

Official page for the Department of Architecture at Toronto Metropolitan University Planning is under way for graduate education in Project Management.

The Department of Architectural Science is dedicated to the pursuit of integrated, sustainable approaches to the design and development of the built environment. The Department offers a pre-professional Bachelor of Architectural Science degree, with options in Architecture, Building Science, and Project Management, the goal of which is to educate students for a wide range of professional roles in the construction industry. In addition, we offer Masters degree programs in Architecture – designed as rigorous preparation for entry into the architectural profession – and Building Science, a unique program in Canada that offers graduates of building-related programs an opportunity to explore the building science principles necessary to deliver sustainable buildings. You can find more information about our programs elsewhere on this site. Toronto Metropolitan University's professional program in architecture comprises a four-year B.Arch.Sci. degree plus the two-year M.Arch. degree. This program received full accreditation by the Canadian Architectural Certification Board (CACB) in 2010. The Department is located in a Ron Thom-designed facility on the Toronto Metropolitan University campus in the heart of downtown Toronto, and was founded in 1948. We boast a multidisciplinary faculty carrying out a broad array of research, scholarly and creative projects, exciting exhibitions, guest lectures, symposia and other events throughout the year. Most events other than program courses are open to the general public, and are usually free of charge – so come and visit us!

This summer, DAS welcomed young designers to week-long summer camps as part of the Architecture Camp program! Through two programs, Home Sweet Home and Make or Break, campers explored the fundamentals of architecture through hands-on building, creative design, and collaborative activities ☀️

From creating book nooks and cereal structures to building chairs, interactive walls, inflatable houses, and cardboard bridges, campers put their creativity and problem-solving skills to work. Both programs introduced children to architecture in an engaging way, encouraging teamwork, experimentation, and personalized design!
