Direct, hands-on experience in design and construction is an extraordinary learning opportunity for young designers. We are committed to providing these possibilities through various design-build options open to architecture, landscape architecture, and bachelor of design students. The design-build counts toward your degree as elective credits.
Our design-build projects are primarily located on the islands just outside of Vancouver, including Camp Fircom on Gambier Island, and Keats Camps on Keats Island. These settings offer a rich and challenging environment for learning about sustainable design and construction practices. More can be found on the SALA design + build Instagram.
