Elizabeth Alford has practiced architecture in New York and now practices in Austin. She teaches graduate and undergraduate architecture design studios, a seminar on prefabrication of houses, and is a faculty advisor for the UTSOA Solar Decathlon team. Her research focuses on the integration of sustainable technology into design.

She is currently at work on a book titled "Site::Offsite, Architecture and the Factory-Built House." Research for this project is drawn from a conference of the same title that she organized in the fall of 2004 which was supported by the Graham Foundation. Other recent research includes the "Prefab Lab" and the U.S. Department of Energy's Building America Industrialized Housing Partnership with Professor Michael Garrison.
