Mission

The College of Built Environments (CBE) prepares students to assume professional roles in the fields of architecture, landscape architecture, urban design and planning, and construction management. Its 80 full-time faculty members and nearly 800 students engage with communities locally and around the globe to envision built and natural environments that enhance quality of life. One of the College's ten research units, the Center for Environment Education and Design Studies (CEEDS) brings together a culturally diverse, interdisciplinary group of faculty and students to enhance learning and community well-being through participatory research and design with K-12 schools, government agencies, and grassroots organizations. Although our work focuses primarily on communities in the greater Seattle area, CEEDS has established interdisciplinary collaborations that extend nationally.
