Our faculty offer a place-based educational model that engages students to solve contemporary design challenges in creative dialogue with the layered histories of the built and natural environment of San Antonio, the greater Texas region, and beyond. We believe that, while transforming the built environment, architects, interior designers, and planning professionals should embrace preservation, conservation, and adaptive reuse as a means of reenergizing our cities.

Our new location in the heart of the city helps us better serve the profession as well as the diverse members of our community.
