Housed in the historic Santa Fe Freight Depot, SCI-Arc is a laboratory for architectural experimentation. During tours of the quarter-mile-long campus, visitors walk through vibrant studios and see students and faculty engaging in collaborative discussions, critiques, pin-ups, and reviews.

Guided Tour

For those interested in learning more about the academic programs offered, the application process, and the curriculum at SCI-Arc, guided campus tours with admissions counselors take place on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 12:00-1:30pm.

Tours are approximately 60 minutes in length, but visitors are advised to allocate 90 minutes for the tour and follow-up questions.

Temperature checks and screening questions will no longer be conducted during the check-in process when entering campus. Individuals should still refrain from coming onto campus if they recently tested positive for COVID-19 or suddenly developed COVID-19-like symptoms.

Visitors are welcome to either show proof of vaccination or will be required to wear a mask while indoors. Any guest that would like to remain on-site without a mask will still be required to show proof of vaccination when checking in.

For security purposes, all guests must check-in at one of two security guard stations located on campus to receive a wristband: 1) Main Entrance, accessible from the campus parking lot at 350 Merrick Street, LA 90013 or 2) Ramp Entrance, accessible from the 250 block on S Santa Fe Avenue.

Reservations must be made at least three days ahead of the visit and can be made at this link.

If you are not able to visit SCI-Arc in person, we welcome you to take a virtual, 360-degree tour of SCI-Arc.
