Architecture and Planning | University at Buffalo

The University at Buffalo School of Architecture and Planning embraces today's grand global challenges as openings for radical action toward more just, resilient, and enriching communities for all. Our deep-rooted traditions in hands-on teaching and research situates our work in the communities around us and translates ideas into built works and realized plans. Embedded in the City of Buffalo, on the western edge of New York State, we engage the transitioning landscapes of our host city in globally relevant investigations in inclusive design, food systems planning, community-based economic development, climate resilient design and sustainable housing. Top-ranked for research among our peers in the Association of American Universities, we collaborate with community and industry partners and across the disciplines at UB, the most comprehensive public research university in the northeastern U.S. We are the only school of architecture and planning in the State University of New York system
