Universities and College Campuses are very special places.

 




They are not only seats of academic achievement, but they are also places of innovation and research, places where our best young minds gather to learn from each other and from professors that provoke and engage them.

University architects fill this role, planning for the future and carefully building and renovating facilities for current needs.

About The AUA

Many universities and colleges have established an office, staffed by an architect, to direct the physical planning of the institution. This office may be known as the Office of the University Architect, Facilities Planning Office, Office of Design and Construction, Office of Capital Projects, Office of Physical Planning or other related names. The office may be a single individual on a small campus or, on a large campus, a group of persons representing a broad range of technical expertise in planning, design, engineering and construction. 

Regardless of the size or exact title, this office serves as a steward for the campus, coordinating issues related to planning, design and construction. With a focus on customer service to the faculty, staff, students and administration, the office can fairly represent the diverse interests on the campus while seeking the most appropriate solutions to problems of the physical environment.
