University of Washington College of Built Environments

The College of Built Environments is made up of five departments: Architecture, Landscape Architecture, Urban Design and Planning, Construction Management, and Real Estate. Our vision is a just and beautiful world where we teach, research, and engage to influence the trajectories of climate change, social justice, and human health, by defining built environments as complex interconnections between constructed and natural worlds and their impacts on society. Our framework for action centers upon three equal and interconnected pillars: Collaboration and Impact, Bold Thought Leadership, and Equitable and Just Practices.
