Arch School Workspace

No. If you've never opened Notion, you're fine. The onboarding course walks you through the essentials, and you'll be set up and comfortable in an afternoon.

It is a Notion template that comes with a short course to help you set it up and use it well. The template is the main thing; the course just gets you going fast.

Yes. Half of it isn't about Notion at all. Module 3 walks through the template (workspace) itself, how it's put together and why it works the way it does, which is what lets you change it around your own architecture school courses instead of using it exactly as it came. If you know Notion well, skip Module 2 and start there.

Yes. The workspace is yours to keep, permanently. The 1 year applies to course access and free updates, but the workspace itself never expires.

As Notion adds new features, we update the template to take advantage of them, so it stays current. You get all of those improvements free for a year. The system itself won't change, though. The way everything is structured and connected is what makes it work, and that stays the same no matter what Notion releases. So you never have to relearn it or rebuild anything.

We tested it, and it wasn't a fit. AI features, including Notion's own, usually run on credits or a subscription, which adds an ongoing cost on top of everything else in a student's budget. For something you'll use every day, that adds up, and it's one more thing to manage. So we built the system entirely on Notion's free, core features. It's simple enough that it doesn't need AI to run well, and that's kind of the point.

No. Everything in the template runs on Notion's free plan, on purpose. Notion is already free and widely used, so we built this to stay that way: no credits, no add-ons, nothing stacked on top of what you already paid. One purchase, and you're set.

Yes. Notion runs on desktop, web, iOS, and Android, so your workspace syncs everywhere. In fact, the whole system was designed to look good on all platforms. There's also a lesson on how to make the most out of the mobile version.

Instantly. You'll get a link to duplicate the template into your own Notion account, plus access to the course, right after purchase.

It's built specifically around architecture school, so that's where it shines. That said, the structure works for any design-heavy or project-based course, so plenty of it carries over if you want to apply it to something different.

Completely. Use it exactly as it comes, or rearrange it around your own courses and habits. It's your copy, you can change anything.
