24th Edible Architecture Competition set for February 14th, 2013

For the past 23 years, the Architectural Technology program of Algonquin College has hosted a mid-semester ‘fun activity’ called “Edible Architecture”. Its purpose is to provide students and staff with an opportunity at designing something ‘fun and unique’ and it’s a great excuse for a major sugar rush! This competition is open to any student in an ACCE program. Faculty and Staff can also enter though they are not eligible to win a prize.
