ARCH home - Architecture

WELCOME

The UW College of Built Environments is the only college in the nation with the disciplinary departments of Architecture, Construction Management, Landscape Architecture, Real Estate, and Urban Design and Planning under one roof – allowing us to offer unparalleled opportunities for interdisciplinary collaboration. Together, we are guided by three core pillars: collaboration and impact, bold thought leadership, and equitable and just practices.

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.
