The School of Architecture & Environment in the College of Design is nationally recognized for its innovation and sustainability research including the design of buildings, interiors, landscapes and communities. We are committed to the principles of civic responsibility, environmental sustainability, international understanding, and interdisciplinary education. Not only do our faculty and students collaborate with each other, they develop partnerships across campus—with law, the sciences, business, and journalism—and off campus with firms, artists, museums, designers, and even whole cities.
Our labs, studios, and classrooms provide spaces where students and faculty collaborate to push the boundaries of what is possible.
