A highly recognized, diverse and committed faculty creates an energetic and productive program. Students share in the investigations of faculty through research and practice, and participate fully in the life of the school. This close collaboration among students and faculty has produced internationally acclaimed work, as well as some of the country’s leading young designers, and continues to carry the school’s reputation forward as a significant participant in the natural architectural panorama.

In addition to the resident faculty, the School of Architecture draws upon a cadre of associated faculty recognized for their professional contributions. The school also attracts distinguished visiting scholars who share the growing consensus that the building of community is the primary challenge facing the modern city.

The staff of the School is comprised of 20 individuals who provide assistance to the students and faculty in a wide variety of ways. The Office of Academic Services is one area which includes six individuals who assist in advising, scheduling and registration of courses, and act as student advocates with other University departments. Other areas where staff are available for assistance are the computer lab, the library, the model shop, public relations, the budget office, and school advancement.

Our best advocates are over 2,000 School of Architecture alumni who live and work around the world. Their professional success is a testament to the quality of the School’s program and faculty. They are role models and mentors for current students and provide monetary and in-kind support of the School’s programs.
