SCAD , The Architecture of a University

SCAD has reinvented and restored an impressive number of buildings around the world. The way they've transformed these buildings for educational use has revolutionized the cities around them."

- Stephanie Meeks, president and chief executive officer, National Trust for Historic Preservation

"At a time when we need to recognize the effect the 'Power of Design' can have on the world, SCAD is educating the future leaders of the field. But the true success is the graduating students who are sought after and respected by future employers. SCAD's contribution to the city of Savannah is unparalleled.

The story of how Paula Wallace built SCAD is an amazing success story. Her vision—a university to prepare creative students for career employment—led to the creation of a university with programs, staff and faculty that are among the best in the country."

- M. Art Gensler, Jr., FAIA, FIIDA, RIBA, founder, Gensler

"If I had a time machine I would go back and attend SCAD. Since I don't, I'll content myself with this magnificent tome."

- Jonathan Adler, potter, designer and author

"It's one thing to have an idea, and another thing to have the possibilities and the mediums to express that idea. It's very important for students to have the opportunity to work with such amazing equipment and impressive facilities. SCAD's extraordinary resources help facilitate the transmission of ideas from students."
