Jodi La Coe, interim Director of the School of Architecture, is a registered architect in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. She earned a PhD in Architecture and Design Research from the Washington-Alexandria Architecture Center of Virginia Tech and a Master of Architecture in the History and Theory of Architecture from McGill University. Her research interests bridge the art and science of historical visualizations of space – the connections, interactions, and inspirations informing the relationship between the architectural imagination and cultural histories. La Coe teaches in the History and Theory of Architecture and Interior Architecture sequence and advanced design studios. Under her leadership, her talented students won First Prize in the 2021 Attached Housing Division and Second Prize in the 2023 Retrofit Housing Division of the annual US Department of Energy's Solar Decathlon Design Challenge.
