SCI-Arc

ABOUT

Located in downtown Los Angeles, SCI-Arc is a world-renowned center of innovation and one of the nation’s few independent architecture schools, offering undergraduate, graduate, and postgraduate programs. We are dedicated to educating architects who will imagine and shape the future.

The school is located in a quarter-mile-long former freight depot in the Arts District of Los Angeles. It is distinguished by the vibrant atmosphere of its studios, which provide students with a uniquely inspiring environment in which to study architecture and design.

An integral part of the emerging cultural hub of a city with a tradition of architectural experimentation, SCI-Arc is devoted to finding radically new responses to the real needs and aspirations of today’s world.

We offer students a unique experience as they pursue their degrees. Our approximately 500 students and 80 faculty members—most of the latter practicing architects—work together in a fluid, nonhierarchical manner to rethink assumptions, create, explore, and test the limits of architecture.

OPPORTUNITY

Since 2022, A&O has partnered with SCI-Arc, a world-renowned center of innovation and one of the nation’s few independent architecture schools, to support their mission of educating architects who will imagine and shape the future, as well as bridge the gap between the architecture industry and the art world.

SOLUTION

A&O provided ongoing in-house communications support while the communications director was on leave, press release writing, external communications reputation management, exhibition PR, and more. A&O has also been engaged to provide support for SCI-Arc’s annual scholarship fundraising gala, where 2023’s net proceeds totaled more than $270,000, and contributed to the $7.8 million in financial support which SCI-Arc awards annually in scholarships.

RESULTS

Results achieved for SCI-Arc included over 50 pieces of coverage (Cultured, Dezeen, LA Weekly, Interior Design, CLOT Magazine), to a 317M audience, accumulating almost 500K estimated views.
