Experienced Instructors
As an architect, I love the design and construction process, but what I like even more is sharing what I know with engaged and motivated minds.
Barb MacDonald, B. Arch., NSAA - NSCC Faculty
Our instructors come to NSCC directly from industry, and maintain their connection with employers to keep their skills and knowledge fresh. They are already experts in their fields and passionate about what they do, we teach them how to share their knowledge to build Nova Scotia's next generation of skilled professionals.
A passion for teaching and dedication to seeing students succeed are two qualities shared by all NSCC faculty.
