Ghana Studio and Summer Workshop (West
Africa)
Since 1994, Professor Gail Della-Piana has taken students
from Architecture and Interior Design and from other departments
to Ghana for a service learning experience. Students have
conducted their own research and have participated in several
design/build projects including a house, a covered walkway
leading into the rainforest and a village library. The Ghana
program is associated with the Department of Architecture
at the University of Science and Technology in Kumasi and
with the Department of Home Science at the University of Ghana
in Accra. For more information click

Departmental Field Trips
Every year several field trips have traditionally taken place.
During the fall semester, various studios organize field trips
within the United States. Popular destinations have included
Chicago, New York, and Bear Run, Pennsylvania (site of Frank
Lloyd Wright's "Fallingwater," a residential work
for the Edgar Kauffmann family in the late 1930s). During
spring break, there is usually an international field trip.
Low cost and direct contact with students as well as international
culture have characterized recent excursions to England, Spain,
and Czechoslovakia.
