NOMA’s local summer camps provide 6th-9th grade students of color with the opportunity to learn the fundamentals of architecture and design. Students that participate in the camps work closely with architects and designers to
create the designs they would like to see in their communities. Not only do students create designs, but they are also connected with NOMA | NW mentors in the architecture field to help guide their interests.

Exploring Black Identity
UW NOMAS Black History Month
For Black History Month, the NOMAS Chapter at the University of Washington curated a series of events that explored and celebrated the black experience within the built environment. Extending a huge thanks to everyone who made this series a reality and we’re excited to continue supporting more events that elevate BIPOC voices within the AEC industry.
Learn more about each of these events in the link below!
Special thanks to our 2025 Sustaining Sponsors:
Part of the NOMA Northwest Chapter’s mission is to confront injustice and inequity faced by communities of color - through public advocacy, and education-driven professional and community based initiatives and programs. Our organization rallies around the guiding principle that positive change comes through the dismantling of biased policies, prejudices and inequitable practices within the AEC industry. We are all stronger when our spheres of influence are culturally inclusive, diverse, and equitable for all.
