Brookings, SD
All functions of DoArch are housed in a single location, the Chicoine Architecture, Mathematics and Engineering Hall, with administrative and faculty offices; light filled design studios and pin-up spaces and a 13,000 square foot workshop outfitted with state of the art manual and CNC fabrication, construction and manufacturing tools. DoArch has a unique mandate to remain a small program of no more than 220 students, making it one of the smallest architecture programs in the USA working among practices of no more than ten architects working out of a fine fabric of small agrarian and mining cities. For us, as E.F. Schumacher quipped, "Small is Beautiful."
