Computer Policy for Incoming Students
NEW STUDENTS with 4 / 5 year Architectural Degrees entering the SACD Advanced Studios must meet the SACD Required Laptop policy.
ALL other NEW STUDENTS entering the SACD Architecture Program (including 2+3) are STRONGLY encouraged NOT to purchase a computer until submitting portfolio for advanced studios. Programs used in the School of Architecture are very demanding. Our students find that their laptops have a useful life of 2 - 3 years, after which they are too slow to be useful. New students do not need to use a computer until their third or fourth studio.
The School maintains a computer lab with 24/7 access.The lab has 12 computers with all the software you will need. The school also provides an 11x17 scanner, a 36" wide Vidar scanner, five laser printers (4 b&w and 1 color), five plotters (3 color and 2 b&w laser), 4 gigs of network storage space and wired and wireless internet access.
The minimum requirements for student laptops CHANGES every year. You will be expected to satisfy the requirement at the time you submit your portfolio to advance into the Advanced Studio (A,B,C) Track.
Students not meeting the Laptop Requirement at the time they submit their portfolio will be required to purchase another laptop prior to advancing into the Advanced Studio Track regardless of the computer's age.
If you have questions about this policy please email or call your advisor.
