The School
Located in the heart of Union Square and situated within Parsons, the School of Constructed Environments is an internationally recognized center for the study of the built environment. Its small size, atelier atmosphere, and urban environment support a unique and collegial context for the pursuit of professional and pre-professional education in architecture, interior design, and lighting. With 250 graduate and undergraduate students studying in four degree programs, this department offers one of the best student-to-faculty ratios of any design school in the country. The faculty is made up of respected professional architects and scholars drawn from the professional and academic ranks of New York City’s international design community. Classes take place in our large open-plan loft studios located at 25 East 13th Street.
