Facilities:

Each spring, the entire Fourth-year undergraduate landscape architeture class, plus two faculty leave University Park and relocate in Rome for the semester. There they enjoy the studio facilities of Sede di Roma, located in the Palazzo Doria Pamphili in the heart of historic Rome. Housing is available to all students through Sede di Roma. In short, students and faculty enjoy the experience of a Penn State campus abroad.
