The University of Washington’s College of Built Environments (CBE) is one of the few places where Architecture, Urban Planning, Landscape Architecture, Construction Management, and Real Estate come together under one roof. The college prioritizes professional practice, public service, and research and each serve the community in profound ways. As researchers, we aim to understand the place and the context that built environments have in the world, address big questions and come up with solutions that preserve our world, while also moving it forward in a way that is equitable for everyone.
