Transform the world through design

Architects and designers have the potential to transform the lives of people at every scale of their endeavor, from the buildings we live in to the clothes we wear. In the O’More College of Architecture & Design, we strive to nurture a community in which students fulfill their personal gifts and talents through challenging academics in a culture of support, collaboration, and creativity, becoming agents of positive change in their communities and around the world.
