Two people are engaged in a collaborative project in a workshop setting. One person, standing and wearing a light blue shirt and dark jeans, is holding a small wooden model in front of a seated individual. The seated person, dressed in a denim jacket and dark pants, looks at the model with interest. Behind them is an orange robotic arm, and various tools and materials are scattered on a workstation. The environment appears bright and creative.

We see the design, planning, and management of the built environment as tools for addressing the critical issues of our time—from social justice to the climate crisis. As a student at the School of Architecture, you’ll build the skills and knowledge you need to respond to these complex and evolving challenges in a uniquely versatile, innovative, and ethical way. As you do, our goal is to prepare you to lead a life of consequence within each discipline, both today and beyond.
