Design Camp
Starting March 16, the University of Arkansas has suspended in-person classes and
is conducting all classes through an online format. This is being done to protect
the campus community from the spread of COVID-19.
At this time, the school’s summer Design Camp sessions are still scheduled for June
on the U of A campus and in locations around the state, and registration for all sessions
remains open. We will make the decision in May about whether there is a need to cancel
those summer Design Camp sessions.
New this year: a two-week immersive camp in Fayetteville. Register by selecting the name of the Design Camp that you wish to attend.
What you need to know:
Design Camp offers the chance to learn about the design professions through hands-on projects, tours, presentations and discussions led by architecture, landscape architecture and interior design faculty of the Fay Jones School. Students have the opportunity to work closely with faculty and collaborate with peers in a fun and creative studio environment as they explore the design process.
