At The University of Texas at Austin School of Architecture, we believe our disciplines play a key role in advancing a better built environment and quality of life for all people. As architects, designers, and planners who are shaping the world around us, it is imperative that our professions look like the world we serve.
If we are to design meaningful buildings, spaces, and communities, and address some of society’s most pressing challenges, we must include and engage a broad array of perspectives and backgrounds. To this end, our faculty are pursuing important work and research that opens up new avenues of discourse, engages the greater community, and brings more voices, more experiences, and more knowledge to bear.
Here, we strive to create an inclusive campus community that fosters an open, enlightening, and robust learning environment for everyone, regardless of race, gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, or socioeconomic background. Every member of our school—whoever you are, wherever you are from, and whatever you believe—is valued. You belong here.
