The mddl-U Certificate Program
The mddl-U Certificate Program is a new online course currently in development through the University of Calgary’s School of Architecture, Planning, and Landscape (SAPL) Continuing Education. Designed to build capacity for middle housing in established communities, the course will provide emerging professionals with the knowledge and tools to navigate the full development process—from site assessment and design to financing and approvals. Building on the success of the in-person mddl School prototype, mddl-U will expand access and empower a new generation of planners, designers, and small-scale developers to deliver middle housing at scale.
