- University of Washington College of Architecture and Urban Planning
The College of Architecture and Urban Planning or CAUP at the
University of Washington is made up of four Departments, Architecture, Construction Management, Landscape Architecture and Urban Design & Planning, as well as several interdisciplinary centers and institutes.The College 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.
Today 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 A-Y-P Exposition as the Fine Arts Palace), and several smaller structures.The four CAUP 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), andurban planning (B.A. in Community and Environmental Planning, M.U.P.). The College offers a Ph.D. in the Built Environment, and participates in an interdisciplinary Ph.D. in Planning.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] .
