History
The architecture program at City College, originally a part of the School of Engineering, moved from Goethals Hall to a former garage at 3300 Broadway in the 1960s.[1] After receiving NAAB accreditation in 1969, the school appointed its first dean, Bernard Spring, with cofounder Norval White as chair.[2][3] Spring was followed by M. Rosaria Piomelli who became the first woman dean of an architecture school in the United States in 1980.[4] The school moved back to the City College campus in 1984 under the leadership of J. Max Bond Jr., who had taught at City College since 1972.[5]
In 1999 Rafael Viñoly was hired to design a new facility to house the school, which opened in 2009 at the south end of the City College campus in a former library building.[6]
In 2019, architect Lesley Lokko was appointed dean, a post from which she resigned less than two years later.[7] Founded in 1969, City College's was the only public school of architecture in New York City until 2023, when the New York City College of Technology received accreditation for a BArch program.[8][9]
