College Tours

We encourage all prospective students to visit DAAP and tour our award-winning facility. Our students are enrolled in a wide variety of disciplines: there's no better way to determine your own career path than to see first hand what our students are engaged in.

Tours are offered every Monday and Friday, 10:00 AM Eastern Time, during the Autumn quarter beginning Monday, September 29 and continuing through Friday, December 12, 2008. Meet with us in the Student Affairs Office, Room 5470, DAAP Aronoff Center. Those wishing to attend a tour and information session must make an appointment online at the Admissions web page.

Directions

Tours assemble in the Student Affairs Office, Room 5470, on the 5000 level of the DAAP Complex. Parking is available for a fee in the Clifton Court Garage -- enter campus from Clifton Avenue at Clifton Court, taking this road until it ends at the Clifton Court Garage ticket booth. There is a fee for parking in the garage. As you enter the garage, you will immediately see a tunnel entrance to the building. If you park on this level (Level 2), walk through the tunnel until you see an elevator to the right of the stairs (from the street level - Level 3 - the elevator is on your right just before you enter the building). Use the elevator to come up to Level 4. Turn right and enter the building. Follow the Grand Staircase up to the Student Records Office, room 5470.

View the West Campus Map for specific directions.

If you plan to take the UC daily campus tour, the Office of Admissions will validate your parking ticket by giving you a parking pass. The College of DAAP does not validate parking.

The architecture of the University of Cincinnati campus has been widely acclaimed and is published in national and international design and architecture journals and magazines.

School and Program Information Sessions

The School of Architecture and Interior Design is housed within the College of Design, Architecture, Art and Planning in a State-of-the-Art faculty designed by Peter Eisenman. Most workshop facilities serve the multiple disciplines within DAAP. Tours of the building are typically offered on Mondays and Fridays at 10:00 a.m. Although a personal interview is not required, we encourage candidates to learn more about the graduate program and school while also meeting with the Graduate program Director. Call the School office at 513.556.6426 to make an appointment. A recommended visit includes the 10:00 college tour with an 11:00 meeting with the Graduate Program Director. It is possible to have an on-campus lunch and meet the 2:00 campus tour.
