The College of Architecture, Art and Design Living Learning Community (LLC) provides freshmen in the college an opportunity to live and learn together. With studio-based learning as the predominant teaching methodology in the college, this community provides CAAD students a context in which to network, study, and work together as they acclimate to this unique learning format.
To accommodate students of varying financial means, the CAAD Living Learning Community is housed in Deavenport and Hull Halls. Students benefit from the close proximity of both residence halls to the 24/7 use of the studios in the college. Students will also have opportunities for tutoring on-site and will have access to study areas where they can gather and form a support network.
