School of Building Arts
In its ideal form, the built environment provides beauty and well-being, supports human interaction, houses memory and inspiration, exhibits the craft of its making, and fosters human responsibility. At SCAD, students learn to become professional architects, designers and preservationists who are strategic thinkers, global communicators, collaborative partners and ethical practitioners of the building arts.
