Welcome back everybody and congratulations to the class of 08’. We start the New Year off with a new Chair, Mr. Robert Easter. He replaced our former chair Brand Grant, who is currently the assistant dean at Howard University. Please continue to check the blog for updates on this semester’s events. Good Luck Everyone. Here is a clip of Mr. Easter as well as pictures from the annual welcome lecture and some intersting first year projects.
Hampton University is an HBCU (Historically Black College and University) located in Hampton, Virginia. The Department of Architecture at Hampton University is one of only two schools of architecture in Virginia to have a NAAB accredited first professional degree architecture program. The 5 year Bachelor of Architecture was just changed to the 5 1/2 year Master of Architecture (first pro degree).
The University was established in 1868 and the architecture program was one of the first in the nation. The program places a large emphasis on under-represented communities, study abroad, and the theory + research intensive thesis program.
