For more than 137 years, The Boston Architectural College (BAC) has challenged convention, expanded access to design education, and connected learning with practice to prepare generations of architects, designers, and changemakers.

For six decades, 320 Newbury Street has been the place where BAC students have discovered their passions, faculty have challenged convention, alumni have built careers, and generations of designers have prepared to shape the built environment.

RED 2026 honors this legacy while reaffirming the BAC’s commitment to expanding access to design education and preparing designers to create a more sustainable, equitable, and resilient world.

An evening celebrating 60 years at 320 Newbury Street and the people, ideas, and experiences that have shaped the BAC.  RED 2026 is a one-time milestone gathering for the BAC community. The evening will include cocktails, a seated dinner, and a program designed to celebrate the College’s mission, its people, and the future of design education.
