Department Summary

The School of Architecture and Environment provides accredited professional (leading to licensure or certification) and post-professional education for architects, historic preservationists, interior architects, and landscape architects through 13 degree programs and post-professional research-based degrees.

Architecture

The Architecture Department examines how the design of the physical environment can repair the natural environment, regenerate communities, and elevate the human spirit. Broad societal challenges are addressed through the lens of specific clients, locations, and ecosystems.

Historic Preservation

The School of Architecture & Environment's Historic Preservation program—the oldest such program on the West Coast—focuses on physical and social heritage. Students participate in the dynamic planning processes that shapes both urban and rural sustainability and apply the skills they learn in real-world projects, including the Pacific Northwest Field School, that help communities understand and protect their cultural resources and traditions.

Interior Architecture

Interior architecture integrates critical analysis with creative thinking to revitalize, reuse, and adapt buildings to resonate with users and provide uplifting, healthy, and sustainable interior environments. The curriculum emphasizes design at all scales from large-scale adaptive reuse to furniture design and fabrication. Students and faculty collaborate closely with faculty in the Department of Architecture as they share required and elective coursework with professional programs in architecture.

Landscape Architecture

The Department of Landscape Architecture is the oldest landscape architecture department on the West Coast. UO is the only university in Oregon that offers professionally accredited landscape architecture degrees, and one of only three universities in the nation to offer BLA, MLA, and PhD degrees.
