Adama Science and Technology University envisions attaining a status of Model Science and Technology University in Ethiopia and becoming an International Standard University. Given that, architectural education needs to be given in a manner that would accelerate the current and future demand of qualified professionals in Architecture, building construction, and city/urban development sector with adequate knowledge and skills both in theoretical and practical aspects as well as Research. Architecture is the major ingredient in the development of the built environment and uplifting the living standard of a society. It is strongly associated with socio-economic and cultural growth. It contributes to sectors of planning, designing, and construction that reflect functional, technical, environmental, and Aesthetical considerations. The shortage of skilled manpower in the fields of architecture is remarkably hindering the growth of the building industry and urbanization process in Ethiopia. The establishment of the Department of Architecture at the Adama Science and technology is aimed at fulfilling the professional needs both at the local and national level.
