Biographical History

The School of Architecture was an original component of North Carolina State University's College of Design, known at its founding in 1948 as the School of Architecture and Landscape Design. Before the Department of Architecture existed, North Carolina State College offered only a Bachelor of Architectural Engineering degree through a joint program of the School of Agriculture and the School of Engineering. The deans of those schools, together with a group of North Carolina architects, lobbied the North Carolina General Assembly for funds to found the School of Architecture and Landscape. In 1948, the search committee hired Henry L. Kamphoefner, a University of Oklahoma architecture professor, to head the new school. Under Dean Kamphoefner, the Department of Architecture within the School of Design, as it soon came to be called, exerted broad influence on architectural design in North Carolina and the wider Southeast. In the 1960s, as architectural education began to focus more on urban and community design, the Department of Architecture established the Urban Design Program as a joint academic program with the Department of City and Regional Planning at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The name of the Department of Architecture changed to the School of Architecture in 2000, when the School of Design became the College of Design.
