Our internationally recognized faculty integrate teaching, research, and practice in community-engaged design, high-performance building, embodied carbon, mass timber, materials and fabrication, as well as history and theory. Additionally, we are proud of our long-standing partnership with Seattle’s professional community, which is among the most innovative and highly recognized in the country. Through these diverse yet collective efforts, we strive to build a more just and beautiful world.
