University of Washington College of Built Environments

[[Image:GCA.JPG|thumb|right|200px|Gould hall atrium]] The '''College of Built Environments''' or '''CBE''' at the [[University of Washington]] is the new name, as of January 1, 2009, of the college formerly called the College of Architecture and Urban Planning. The old name was adopted in 1957-58 when the college had only two departments, architecture and planning. Today, however, the '''College of Built Environments''' is made up of four Departments, Architecture, Construction Management, Landscape Architecture and Urban Design & Planning, and houses two interdisciplinary [[Ph.D.]] degrees, as well as several interdisciplinary centers and institutes. The new name reflects the integrated approach to planning, design and construction that will be necessary to take on the 21st century global challenges of urbanization and climate change. ==History== The College of Built Environments traces its history to 1914, when the Department of Architecture was founded (initially as a subdivision in a College of Fine Arts). The Department grew slowly and focused strictly on architecture until the early 1940s when a city planning curriculum was inaugurated. After the Second World War, the architecture and planning programs grew rapidly. The College of Architecture and Urban Planning was established in 1957; Arthur Herrman was the first Dean. Architecture and Urban Planning (now Urban Design and Planning) were established as separate Departments within the CAUP by 1961; Landscape Architecture and Building Construction (now Construction Management) were established as Departments later in the 1960s. Other programs were added in the last forty years, most recently the Ph.D. in the Built Environment in 2003. In 2007 the faculty of the college began searching for a new name. The Regents of the University of Washington approved the name in fall 2008. The '''College of Built Environments''' name became official in January 2009. ==Facilities== The College is housed in Gould Hall (named after [[Carl F. Gould]], founder and first head of the Department of Architecture), Architecture Hall (constructed 1907-9 to serve as a chemistry building, but used during the [[Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition|A-Y-P Exposition]] as the Fine Arts Palace), and several smaller structures. [[Image:Uw-architecture-hall-aype.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Architecture Hall in 1909]] The College has several facilities for supporting the work of students, faculty, and staff, including the Digital Commons (which houses Computing Services for the College), and the [http://www.caup.washington.edu/vrc/index.html Visual Resources Collection]. ==Departments and Programs== The four CBE departments offer degrees in [[architecture]] (B.A. in architecture studies, M.Arch., M.S. in Architecture), [[landscape architecture]] (B.L.A., M.L.A.), [[construction management]] (B.S. and M.S. in Construction Management), and [[urban planning]] (B.A. in Community, Environment, and Planning [http://cep.caup.washington.edu/], and M.U.P.). The College offers a Ph.D. in the Built Environment, and participates in an interdisciplinary Ph.D. in Planning. == Some notable faculty == {{Col-begin}} {{Col-1-of-3}} *[[Steve Badanes]] *[[Thomas Bosworth]] *[[Francis D.K.
