You can apply into ArchSci when you apply for first year at BCIT, unless you have a high GPA or are among the better candidates most people will get an email back saying that the program is full and they should apply into ABET.
A select few will get into pre-qualified into ArchSci, but you take the first two years with the ABET students, then after those two years everyone who is interested in archsci has to submit a portfolio, and based on that and your marks they will choose 20-30 students to continue onto archsci. The people who were pre-qualified are preferred but many times other people get in because those people choose to cut their losses or decide to go another route.
You only gain access to the two rooms by the red-circle thing in third and fourth year. The eastern most room is for third year and the western most room is for 4th year.
As for some of the other questions, the third floor is primarily dominated by ABET, interior design and Arch Sci throughout the day. The open computer labs are used primarily by ABET as the interior design uses the Mac labs that are locked and ArchSci uses their own computers in the studio.
4th floor of the building is where construction management use to primarily be, however interior design is slowly taking over that space and the construction management classes are being scattered all over the building now.
I think that answers a lot of the questions.
EDIT: for the record, ArchSci is the ABET continuation. AKA ArchSci is equivalent to what you guys are calling "ABET degree program".
Do recognize that ABET has three streams however, not just architecture, there is 1. Economics, 2. Building science and 3. Architecture.
So The program also makes a great segway into the new building science masters program, as well as the construction management degree program.
