SACD requires students to have their own laptops when they begin the graduate architecture program.

Please refer to the SACD Required Laptop Policy for information on minimum requirements.

  • When students begin ARC 5361 Core Design 1, they must have documentation that they own a laptop.
  • The laptop must meet or exceed the minimum requirements of software listed in the required laptop policy. For this reason, SACD recommends not purchasing the laptop until Core Design 1.
  • All students will be expected to use Autodesk's Revit (free to students) for studio work 鈥� Revit does not run on Apple laptops 鈥� Parallels is not an acceptable solution.
  • All laptops should include three to four years of on-site, next day service and either crashplan.com or carbonite.com to automatically backup studio work.

External hard drives are discouraged due to the high number of drive failures experienced by our students.
