Center for Architecture Studies

The Center for Architecture Studies occupies a spacious, state-of-the-art facility in the heart of campus adjacent to the University’s highly acclaimed Art facilities. The facility showcases sustainable design principles. It features a primary circulation spine connecting two sides of the campus, two levels of studios, and a two-story Commons surmounted by a continuous skylight that harvests abundant natural light throughout the day. The Commons serves as the building’s “agora” - an open, shared, central space for educational exchange among all students and faculty. Each student has an individualized space designed to accommodate a laptop computer, drawing board, storage area for personal items, and integral pin-up space.

Additional facilities include fully-equipped woodshop, plaster-casting room, central printers and plotters, a Computer-Aided Design (CAD) Lab, flexibly-furnished classroom space, and a reference library adjacent to the design studios.

The facility also houses a 25 meter swimming pool and racquetball court.
