Department Summary

60 pro tempore professors, 60 - 70 Graduate Employees/Research
Fellows, and 8 - 10 student assistants are hired per year.

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. Established in 1914, the UO School of
Architecture and Allied Arts was one of the first to break away
from Beaux-Arts pedagogy to emphasize non-competitive,
individualized education. Faculty are committed to creating a
student-centered learning community that embraces multiple
viewpoints. It is a department in which learning, research, and
professional activity inform each other; in which new ideas and
established traditions are in dialogue.

The department thrives on interdisciplinary academic partnerships
in Eugene and engages in robust partnerships with professionals,
government agencies, and non-profit organizations in Portland and
around the globe. Department strengths include energy-efficient
buildings, timber construction, housing design, and urbanism.

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.

Areas of expertise include an introduction to historic
preservation, survey and inventory, national register nomination,
preservation economics, land use ethics, adaptive use studio,
building documentation, and analysis, cultural resource
management/public policies in preservation, preservation
technology, and American architectural history.

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. The
Department of Interior Architecture offers fully-accredited
professional degree programs in Architecture (BIArch and MIArch
accredited by CIDA the Council for Interior Design Accreditation)
as well as post-professional degrees: the Master of Science in
Interior 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. The new
Environmental Design (BA/BS) degree has expanded the value of an
environmental design education and increased our impact on
workforce preparedness for climate change and resilience. The
curriculum emphasizes understanding landscapes across multiple
scales and contexts to support innovative design, critical
thinking, and real-world problem-solving. The department encourages
engagement-based teaching, through cutting-edge initiatives such as
the Urban Farm and the Fuller Center for Productive Landscapes, and
partners with groups like UO's Sustainable Cities Initiative and
the American Society of Landscape Architects to collaborate on
projects that address pressing issues in actual landscapes with
real stakeholders.
