Experience everything SCAD has to offer
As a student at SCAD, you'll have access to an abundance of resources, facilities, opportunities for recreation, and extracurricular activities to bolster your degree in architecture. Because it's not just where you're going that counts — it's how you get there.
A creative environment that you'll love
The SCAD architecture department is housed in Clark Hall, a piece of history built in 1887 for the Central of Georgia Railway and rehabilitated by SCAD into an award-winning fulcrum of architectural design. Inspiration strikes our students no matter where they are — whether sketching a new design or putting the final touches on a perfect scale model.
Premium tools always at your fingertips:
- Large studio space for researching and building
- Hybrid graphics lab with Macs and PCs for CAD and 3D modeling
- Materials room packed with volumes of information including building design and construction samples
- PC- and projector-equipped classrooms featuring dual monitor displays
- Adobe Creative Cloud (always up-to-date and free for download)
Mingle with the masters
Architecture students have countless opportunities to make career-boosting professional connections and showcase their work, from events like American Institute of Architects' national convention to SCAD's annual signature events. You'll meet and gain insight with leading architects and representatives from major firms — and have the chance to earn recognition for your student projects.
SCADstyle
You can join forces with the luminaries of design as we celebrate SCADstyle each year. Through lectures, conversations, and workshops with visual leaders and designers, students draw inspiration and form lasting connections with industry powerhouses.

Study architecture in living laboratories
SCAD's locations around the world impart a keen awareness of how rural, urban, and cultural contexts drive design. Architecture students can explore the evolving cityscape of Atlanta; observe European influences across centuries in Lacoste, France; and focus their studies amid one of the most celebrated urban plans in the world in Savannah.
