Course Description

Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) Design is a 5 week seminar course that introduces design concepts, codes, budgeting, and permit strategies unique to ADUs. ADUs are typically small second units added to existing single family home properties and allowable sizes and limitations vary by city and lot size. Students will plan out their own project and are encouraged to bring ideas and questions. A field visit to experience an ADU or similar sized structure will be organized as available. No prior experience needed.
