The arts and built environment professions come together at Weitzman Hall.

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.
