The School of Architecture is located in the Paul B Sogg Architecture Building located on the Southeast corner of UNLV's campus on Brussels Road close to Maryland Pkwy and Tropicana Ave in Las Vegas, Nevada. The 75,000-square-foot (7,000 m2) facility was named after the developer Paul B. Sogg who donated generously for the building's construction. The cost of the building was $8.25 million and was designed by SH Architecture (formerly Swisher & Hall, AIA Ltd.) of Las Vegas. Facilities inside the structure include the Architecture Studies Library providing a wide selection of services catered to students within the School of Architecture, as well providing services to the architectural community throughout Las Vegas. An addition to the original structure was completed in 2004 to provide more studio space and offices. This new addition was designed by DPHS Architects and cost $1.6 million.
In Fall of 2008 the Downtown Design Center opened in the historic Fifth Street School, a former primary school listed on the National Register of Historic Places on Clark Avenue and Las Vegas Boulevard (previously 5th Street) in downtown Las Vegas.
