History
At its inception in 1914, Ellis F. Lawrence envisioned that the school would incorporate architectural education with the arts as opposed to engineering, and became the first school to do so. The students would learn in an individual but collaborative environment instead of a fiercely competitive environment.
When W.R.B. Wilcox became the head of the architecture curriculum in 1922, the underlying idea became that architecture and the arts would reflect societal influences, which had remained alive through the decades.
After World War II, student enrollment in the school ballooned and separate departments for each curricular subject were created.
