Early Admissions Open House
We invite you to learn more about the Notre Dame School of Architecture at our open house for early action students, February 21–22, 2019. To register, use the personalized link included in an email that was sent to early action students and their parents.
Architecture students immerse themselves in the principles of traditional and classical architecture and its application in the modern world. That means learning more than the basics of design and construction. It means developing an understanding of society itself and how the buildings where people live, work, and worship facilitate a sense of community.
During your visit, you can see our new home, Walsh Family Hall of Architecture, explore the studios, see student work, learn about our Rome Studies Program, see our renowned Architecture Library, home of many innovative projects, and receive answers to all your questions. We hope to see you soon on campus, and in the meantime, follow us on Instagram to get a glimpse of life at Notre Dame.
