Weitzman prepares students to address complex sociocultural and environmental issues through thoughtful inquiry, creative expression, and innovation. As a diverse community of scholars and practitioners, we are committed to advancing the public good – locally, nationally, and globally – through architecture, city and regional planning, the fine arts, historic preservation, landscape architecture, and urban spatial analytics.
Under one roof, artists will push the boundaries of creative expression as designers and planners devise solutions to neighborhood challenges, policy experts develop the means to accelerate the sustainable energy transition, and community members take part in year-round exhibitions and lectures.
