It owns 3 research platforms at ministerial level: Key Laboratory of Urban and Architectural Heritage Conservation of Ministry of Education, Key Scientific Research Base of Traditional Wooden Architecture Technique of State Administration for Cultural Heritage, and Contemporary Integrated Technology for Urban and Rural Built Environment. It also owns a scientific research platform at provincial level: Urban-Rural Areas and Landscape Digital Technology Engineering Center of Jiangsu Province.

School of Architecture now has more than 130 full-time teachers, including 4 academicians, 2 Chang Jiang Scholars, 1 China Engineering Design Master, and 1 distinguished foreign expert of "1,000 Talent Plan". Under the leadership of CAS Academician Qi Kang, CAE Academician Zhong Xunzheng, Cheng Taining and Wang Jianguo, a top-ranking teaching staff team with diversified international backgrounds and education related structures has formed. There are about 1700 students at School of Architecture, including over 800 undergraduates, over 600 postgraduates and over 200 Ph.D. candidates. Most of them are top talents passing the Chinese college entrance examination or from high-level architecture schools in China. The abundance of faculty with first class national or international education background and talented students propels vibrant atmosphere of communication and interaction. The two become a strong learning and research community, aiming at exploring the essence of human settlements. 

School of Architecture is fully committed to the idea of Open Education.
