Introduction

Hampton University’s Department of Architecture, long a recognized leader among programs at HBCUs, aims its students toward successful careers as licensed professionals nationally. Our student body comes from all over the world, and our faculty reflects the diversity of our students. Within the program, students move from high school to a fully accredited Master of Architecture degree in five years. While learning the arts of design, students also learn of the potential for individual buildings to work to create urban spaces in which community life plays out, to travel to study the design of cities abroad, and to learn the basics of engineering and building technologies. At the Hampton University Department of Architecture, we take the opportunities and responsibilities of our field quite seriously, as we are part of the crafting of the world in which we do and will live. And we believe learning how to make buildings well can offer some serious fun and reward. Objectives Broadly, the Department of Architecture takes as its mission to prepare students for successful careers as professional architects. We teach the fundamentals of building technology, structural and mechanical systems, urban and architectural design, architectural theory and history, ecology, and of professional ethics and responsibility, all in the service of preparing students to flourish within the profession of architecture. Some students find careers in related fields like landscape architecture, urban design, and construction management. We believe the skills developed in our program of critical thinking and iterative, synthetic design skills allow them to flourish. Within the basic trajectory of preparation for professional accomplishment, the program takes as core interests a focus on design for underserved urban communities, on the sustainable building including an interest in historic preservation, and building appropriately at the water’s edge. These interests are built upon a shared philosophy among the faculty, promote civic opportunity and engagement locally, and build future professionals ready to assume global responsibilities. Hampton University is, of course, an HBCU. We are proud of the program’s diversity in both student and faculty rosters and seek to provide a strong education for all our students. Along the way, in any given year, we are likely to have graduated the highest number of African American women with advanced professional degrees in the country. Concentrations Adaptation to Sea Level Rise The Hampton University Department of Architecture has established one of the first programs devoted to design solutions adapting coastal urban communities to the challenges posed by Sea Level Rise. An emerging field of inquiry, a knowledge base in and completion of the requirements for a concentration in the field should provide an advantage to graduates seeking employment. Further, as the program is rooted in an active collaborative process with policymakers, area professionals, and engineering students from other state universities, potentially employers will recognize the special skills required for successful collaboration. Since its inception, students engaged in the program have been active in community engagement processes, have been invited participants in an international design program, and have been speakers before municipal and state officials, and at regional and national conferences. The Department of Architecture has been named one of six programs nationally to form the National Resilience Initiative, formed by the Clinton Global Initiative and the Rockefeller Foundation’s 100 Resilient Cities program and overseen by the American Institute of Architects. The concentration is an available addition to the Master of Architecture degree, requiring completion of two courses offered in the Department, one offered by the university’s Marine Science Program, and one offered online by Old Dominion University’s Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering.
