An Immersive Urban Experience
The College of Architecture, Art, and Planning’s rapidly expanding studio and classroom facility in New York City (AAP NYC) offers undergraduate and graduate students a unique opportunity to live and study in one of the most culturally vital urban centers in the world for one semester, while gaining valuable professional experience at design firms, studios, and innovative public, private, and non-profit organizations throughout the city.
Located on 17th Street near Union Square, in the vibrant Chelsea neighborhood of Manhattan, AAP NYC’s loft provides expansive studio and seminar space for short-term and semester-long use by the entire College. The location is an ideal base for the study of urban and social policy, for museum and gallery visits, or for exposure to a wealth of architectural history and practice.
AAP NYC offers a full roster of courses enriched by New York City’s unique artistic, historical, and cultural resources and by AAP’s extensive alumni network of noted metropolitan professionals, who frequently teach and serve as guest critics and mentors. The programming expands opportunities for AAP's undergraduates, allowing them to now take advantage of study in two world capitals—New York City and Rome—while easily meeting graduation requirements.
Whether for special events, an intercession course, or an entire semester, the New York center expands AAP’s urban and global reach.
