SUMMER 2009
High School Architecture Summer Career Workshop
June 21 – July 17, 2009
The Architecture Department will offer an intensive 4-week in-residence workshop designed for high school students considering architecture as a career or developing a design portfolio. Students are presented an in-depth view of the career through hands-on experience in studio design exercises, lectures, projects and field trips. Activities cover architectural design and history, computer applications, building science, structural engineering and site planning. Studios and lectures are taught by the faculty of the College of Architecture and Environmental Design. Education and career advising are integral elements of the program. Participating students live in residence halls where they become familiar with the dynamics of campus life. The program typically runs mid June - mid July, which includes lodging, most meals, field trips and most materials. The size of the class is limited to about 60 and usually filled by mid March. Qualified students are accepted in order of receipt of completed application and deposit.
Opportunities for Commuter Participants are available.
The commuter rate is $2,525 and includes all of the in studio exercises and activities of the residential program, specifically a lunch card, program materials, field trips, weekend activities, Tuesday evening BBQs and four units of academic college credit. A separate application for the Commuter Program is available. Click here to download Commuter Program application
