Architecture & Interior Architecture

To provide students with more chances to build skills and relationships, SAIC’s Architecture & Interior Architecture program coordinates engagement opportunities with community partners and outside organizations, complementing our in-classroom curriculum with real-world experience that prepares students for their professional careers. This Giving Day, your support can provide resources for trips to visit major architectural firms and corporations in the Midwest, where current students can connect with working architects and gain insights into the kind of work they might complete for clients.

Additionally, gifts to SAIC’s Architecture & Interior Architecture Department Fund support:

• Emergency funding for students experiencing unexpected financial strains
• Developing a resource center for architectural objects and historical materials
• Conference attendance for students to further connect them with the current professional industry

As a leading school of architecture in Chicago, SAIC offers multiple undergraduate and graduate pathways that allow students to learn from our world-class facilities and resources, becoming architects who do not just respond to change, but drive it.
