We all live in built environments. They are the spaces where we reside, work, gather, and travel. Within the College of Built Environments, students and faculty collaborate to address some of the most critical questions about how humans shape and interact with the natural world.

Built Environments Spotlight

Built Environment Leaders, Powered by YOU

Husky Giving Day is April 23, 2026.

You can help fuel bold ideas that redefine the spaces where we live, work and gather by making an early gift to the CBE Dean’s Fund for Excellence.

Your donation equips classrooms, studios and fabrication labs with cutting-edge tools and resources and expands access to scholarships, so students can fully immerse themselves in their education and bring ideas to life. It also supports mentorship and leadership development opportunities for our faculty and students, preparing our community to navigate complex global challenges of the future.
