Do you want to imagine — and create — the buildings of tomorrow? Retrofit older structures and repurpose vacant lots? Design community parks and help cities build climate resilience? Plan neighborhoods that contribute to city life? Consider CCNY’s Spitzer School of Architecture: a vibrant, dynamic architecture school where students match design and technical skills with leadership and critical thinking.
In Spitzer’s rigorous, affordable degree programs, students explore topics ranging from affordable housing to building materials to climate science. They learn cutting-edge skills in Spitzer’s digital media labs, fabrication shop, robotics lab, and urban farm. And they see architecture in action in New York City’s buildings and green spaces.
Studying at Spitzer opens doors: Spitzer graduates work for architecture, landscape architecture, and urban design firms, construction companies, universities, nonprofits, and city agencies, in New York City and beyond. Our extended and engaged alumni and professional networks help students make industry connections in New York City and in the broader architecture, planning, and design communities.

As New York City’s flagship public architecture school, Spitzer has a program for everyone — from those with no previous study of architecture to professionals looking to deepen their expertise.
