Overview
Graduates of Illinois Institute of Technology's College of Architecture join a list of fabled and influential practitioners who have shaped cities and skylines around the world. From Florence Knoll to Myron Goldsmith to Virgil Abloh, the legacy of the College continues to evolve, and with it, opportunities for alumni to claim their heritage. There are more than 3,000 living graduates of our programs practicing in many of the world's leading firms, including Zaha Hadid Architects, Krueck Sexton Partners, Perkins&Will, Ross Barney Architects, SHoP, Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, Studio Gang, and many more.
College of Architecture alumni have been pioneers in design, technology, furnishings, management, education, fashion, real estate development, and nearly every other form of professional endeavor related to design. If you're not an alum already, we hope you'll become one. And for our graduates, we hope you'll reach out soon so we can include you in the lectures, seminars, symposia, reviews, and events the College sponsors every year.
