Professional Development - Center for Architecture

Center for Architecture requires proof of complete vaccination (for visitors over age 12) with photo ID and face masks for entry. For visitors ages 5 to 11, proof of at least one vaccination dose must be shown. Review our Health and Safety Protocol.

The Center for Architecture offers customized workshops for classroom teachers and administrators that build staff capacity to integrate architecture and design into their classroom curricula.

Programs cover built environment education teaching strategies, activities, and curricula. Participants learn about key elements of architecture and design and become familiar with hands-on activities they can use with students.

Professional Development Workshops are currently being offered virtually or in person at your school.
