Architecture Summer Design Workshop
We are thrilled to offer the Architecture Summer Workshop, a two-week immersive experience designed to provide you with an introduction to the world of architecture and the tools you will need to thrive as a freshman on campus. The workshop will run from July 17th to July 28th, with check-in to housing available from late Sunday afternoon on July 16th and check-out on Friday evening. July 28th, 2023.
During the workshop, you will have the opportunity to participate in a variety of events and activities designed to give you a well-rounded experience. Each morning will be devoted to exploring the campus and learning about the resources available to help make your transition to freshman life on campus as smooth as possible. You will also have the chance to meet with registered student organizations and get connected with student life at the university.
Afternoons will be spent in the architecture studio, where you will participate in hands-on design projects and gain valuable experience working collaboratively with other students. The afternoon studio sessions will run from 1:00-5:00, giving you ample time to develop your skills and create meaningful connections with other students and faculty members.

Because our teams will be working to get campus ready for fall move-in, only groups who have been previously approved by Housing to move in early (i.e. band members, athletes, Panhellenic recruitment participants, etc.) or students who are moving from a large distance may request to move in early. If this applies to you, please reach out to Talon One at talonone@kennesaw.edu or 470-578-8663.
