Both the College of Architecture and the Graduate School of Architecture & Urban Design are part of the Sam Fox School of Design & Visual Arts, a new academic and administrative unit that also includes the College of Art, the Graduate School of Art and the Mildred Lane Kemper Art Museum.

The new individual will succeed current Architecture Dean Jerome J. Sincoff and will report directly to Carmon Colangelo, the recently appointed dean of the Sam Fox School, who will arrive on campus July 1.
