Stepping stones outside of Rapson Hall

The College of Design has a number of offices and spaces each with its own public and by-appointment hours. Due to the flexibility in staff and faculty schedules, not all staff and faculty will be available during public hours in any given space, so please plan and communicate ahead of time as appropriate. If you would like to meet with an employee, it’s highly encouraged for you to reach out to them via email in order to schedule an appointment.
