For aspiring architects in Chula Vista, Southwestern College's Architecture program at the 900 Otay Lakes Road campus provides an ACCJC-accredited pathway through Building 68. Coursework bridges residential and commercial drafting with digital modeling, preparing graduates for positions at Chula Vista firms including Luis Davalos Design that handle the city's expanding building stock. The architecture track sits within Southwestern Community College District's School of Business and Technology, which has operated from the Chula Vista main campus since the district's founding in 1961. Students pursuing architecture degrees share the broader Otay Lakes Road campus corridor with career-technical peers at Pima Medical Institute, creating a vocational education cluster near the eastern edge of Chula Vista. The program awards both an Associate in Science degree and a Certificate of Achievement in Architectural Drafting Technology, with required coursework covering AutoCAD, Revit BIM modeling, California Building Code Title 24 compliance, and structural load analysis for wood-frame and steel construction.
