Success Stories
Through these inspiring stories, current and prospective students can
gain insight into the possibilities and opportunities that await them as
graduates of NewSchool.
My time as a student consolidated my passion for architecture, a passion which I am continually trying to nurture. The foundation I received at NewSchool, through the teachers and friends I met there, as well as the learning environment we were surrounded with, kept me true to my passion.
Jorge A. Zapata
Bachelor of Architecture '95
I wanted a chance to turn raw spaces into sustainable and unique rooms. I believe interior architecture isn't just about being creative, it also applies psychological and technical skills.
Paul Freitas
Bachelor of Interior Architecture & Design '20
I enjoyed the smaller classrooms and the relationships we could build with the instructors. It made the learning process better and more personal. My fondest memories were when the construction management students would work on their homework and projects together up in the construction management loft.

Field Engineer, Hensel Phelps
I needed to make a living and be able to work during the day and attend classes in the evenings. It was almost like NewSchool was made for me.
Jennifer Pruitt
Bachelor & Master of Architecture '96
NewSchool is a community that is very project-based with focus on real-life projects and global issues and for those who learn best by doing and observing. I would say this is the school to be at.
Andy Kirby
VP Operations, McCarthy Building Companies
NewSchool taught me how to be critical and how to approach problems and design challenges. They introduced me to processes of problem-solving that engage both theoretical positions and very technical methodologies.
Albert Wang
Project Manager, WJW Architecture
When I visited the school, I was hooked when I saw the studios filled with students making architectural models! Hands down the faculty are the best. George Welch and the rest of the faculty are amazing.
