The NewSchool of Architecture and Design Story

In 1980, the late Richard Welsh founded NewSchool of Architecture in a small industrial building in Chula Vista, California. Welsh had a vision: to create a superb professional education program that culminated with a Bachelor of Architecture degree. The school’s evening class structure accommodated a large number of working students and continues today.

Change and growth came quickly. In 1988, NewSchool of Architecture relocated to central downtown San Diego, and the Master of Architecture and the Master of Science in Architecture programs were added the following year. In 2001, the school’s name was changed to NewSchool of Architecture and Design.

In 2008, NSAD became part of Laureate International Universities, which today is a global network of more than 70 accredited campus-based and online universities of-fering undergraduate and graduate degree programs to more than 780,000 students around the world. Since that time, NSAD has broadened its educational offerings within the architecture and design fields, adding degree programs in interior design, construction management, and digital media arts.

San Diego is Your Classroom

San Diego blends city and nature, and local and global influences, to create an ideal spot for learning architecture and design. A unique environment where coastal town meets urban metropolis, San Diego has an architecture and design community that faces challenges such as urban sprawl, demand for infrastructure investment, pressure on natural environments, an increasingly complicated urban-wild interface, water needs for both cities and agriculture, as well as political and ecological concerns that emerge from the city’s shared border with Mexico.

The result is that San Diego is an amazing laboratory for experimentation and exploration of urban conditions—both now and in the future.

NSAD—Part of a Unique Community

Located in San Diego’s East Village, the NewSchool of Architecture and Design campus lies right in the middle of the downtown art district—where local architects and other creative professionals have transformed once-empty industrial space into contemporary and often sustainable offices and studios. NSAD’s commitment to the local profession and its relationship with highly regarded firms in the area have resulted in extraordinary career opportunities and internships for its students.

A Life Like None Other in San Diego

When you are not in class, you are surrounded by things to do in San Diego including street festivals, art fairs, hiking, mountain biking, shopping, and 70 miles of beaches. In what is sometimes called a laid-back surfer community, swimming, sailing, and whale watching are everyday activities.

Architecture will continue to be redefined because the very concept itself changes over time. With that understanding, the students and faculty at NSAD are engaged in the process of discovering what architecture is in the 21st century. There are tremendous challenges ahead, as well as boundless opportunities for those who want to explore them with us.

Kurt Hunker, FAIA graduate Architecture Program Chair

Master of Architecture I

The Master of Architecture I can serve as a first professional degree for post-baccalaureate students who want to be architects, and it is recognized by the National Architectural Accrediting Board (NAAB) and the National Council of Architectural Registration Boards (NCARB) as part of the requirements for eventual architectural licensure. Students with a bachelor’s degree in an unrelated field will typically require three years of full-time study. Students with a B.A. or B.S. in architecture, or a related degree, will be able to complete the program with two years of full-time study.

Master of Architecture II

Designed for students already possessing a first professional degree in architecture, the Master of Architecture II builds on foundational knowledge in art and design with a program that integrates thesis-based learning and coursework to explore architecture in the context of history and theory, tectonics, urban studies, and professional practice. The program typically requires one year of full-time study.

Master of Science in Architecture

From urban planning to interior design, many professionals today benefit from in-depth study of architecture. If you want to enrich your knowledge of the field but don’t plan to pursue architectural licensing, consider earning your Master of Science in Architecture. Students with a bachelor’s degree in any field may apply. The program typically requires one to two years of full-time study.

Campus Facilities—Spaces That Inspire

When you enter the campus at NewSchool of Architecture and Design, you see sustainability at work. Our main buildings are adaptive reuses of the old ‘Hang 10’ site and the Wonder Bread Building. The 100,000-square-foot urban space is networked for maximum efficiency in regards to technology. The marriage of these two elements gives a unique pulse to the campus.

Architecture and Interior Design students have a designated studio space for their entire tenure at NSAD that is available to them 24/7. Our newly designed Mac lab center gives students access to the latest graphic art and design software, and three CAD labs are also conveniently located on campus. The campus also has two print centers featuring the latest technologies including a Ricoh Aficio 6501. All print usage is covered in the student fees. Our IT department is staffed by specialists who are available to assist students with any technical issues they may encounter.

The Wonder Bread building is the newest addition to the campus facilities. Recently renovated, the location provides students with classroom space, studio space, a computer lab, and print center.

Urban, iconic: the NSAD campus is unlike any other. Where city meets design in perfect rapport.

Where Ideas Become Reality

NewSchool of Architecture and Design has an on-site Material Laboratory that enables students to bring their ideas to fruition. Whether they need to make a representation of a design; fabricate a steel truss to see if it works; build real, functional furniture; or create a prototype that is plastic or metal, students can do so in the shop. Students have access to three types of fabrication utilities offered in the shop:

+ A woodworking facility with table, panel, miter and radial arm saws, drill presses, band saws, multiple types of sanders, a large planer and jointer, and a full array of both power and manual hand tools.

+ A metal lab which can be utilized for everything from welding to precision sheet metal fabrication and plasma cutting.

+ A digital facility, which is still expanding but currently houses two industrial Computer Numerically Controlled (CNC) machines—a laser and a router— three smaller-format Universal Laser Systems for more intricate work, as well as a digital light-processing photopolymer 3D printer for the fabrication of highly complex geometries.

The lab is also home to the new Digital Fabrication class, an in-depth exploration of how and why to use the digital fabrication tools in architecture and design projects.
