About Us
In 1995, the School of Art and Architecture at UL Lafayette
became the College of the Arts, with the inclusion of
the School of Music. At this time, the Department of Architecture
was elevated to a School and administered with a director.
In 1996, the School of Architecture established the Community
Design Workshop (CDW), a community outreach program. The
School of Architecture initiated the first student-owned
computer requirement on campus in 1997, and in the fall
of 2000 the design studios were networked.
In 2001, the School of Architecture was renamed the School
of Architecture and Design to more accurately reflect
the interdisciplinary and collaborative nature of the
three programs. That year the Board of Regents approved
the conversion of the five-year Bachelor of Architecture
degree to the four-year Bachelor of Science in Architectural
Studies degree, and the Master of Architecture as the
professional architecture degree.
In 2002 the School of Architecture and Design established
the Building Institute to give students a hands-on construction
experience. In 2003 the Interior Design program established
the Facility Design Management studio. The Transportation
Studio in Industrial Design was also established in 2003.
