Heritage Retrofit Carpentry

Certificate · 1 Year

Developers and communities are seeking to re-use older structures, so the demand for heritage retrofit carpenters is high. Learn the construction techniques that were used centuries ago and replicate them by combining traditional skills with the latest technology. In this program, you’ll help preserve historic properties by upgrading and restoring them to structural standards and energy efficiency without compromising their character, aesthetic, or charm. Graduates and students work on heritage projects such as the restoration of Province House, a National Historic Site, the doors of St. Dunstan’s Basilica, and the construction of an ice boat replica.
