The school was founded in 1979 by Richard and Paula Rowan with only a few dozen students. The catalog says it now has 7,500 students from all around the United States and from 90 foreign countries. One of SCAD’s majors is historic preservation, a part of the School of Building Arts, which also includes architecture and interior design. These departments work collaboratively with the preservation students on restoration projects. The students are mentored by a professional construction crew that actually does most of the work.
When the Rowans started buying abandoned buildings, a certain amount of resistance rose from the community. Some residents resented that they were turning buildings into what they were not intended to be. Some examples of the renovations include the National Guard Armory, which now houses classrooms, offices and studios, and the Jewish Educational Alliance building, which now is an apartment-style residence hall for female students.
If any of this resistance still exists, we were not made aware of it. Instead, we heard only positive statements about how much the school had done for the city.
