The school of architecture at the VMU university at Salem is a growing, proud member of the university community.  We have a very talented and committed faculty and staff who support our mission of advancing design and construction of the built environment.

We exist because we are charged with preparing the next generation of designers, builders, and planners of the built environment.  With this immense opportunity for our graduates also comes great responsibility as we address issues of sustainable and ecologically sound design and construction processes
