Cal Poly's College of Architecture and Environmental Design is where creative students strengthen social equity, further collaboration, and pursue opportunities to make a difference.
As the top-ranked college offering planning, landscape architecture, architecture, architectural engineering and construction management programs, we help our students Learn by Doing and lead through practice.
Our community has worked collaboratively for the past 75 years to shape the built environment. Help support the future of Learn by Doing and the next generation of leaders by giving to the department or program that resonates with you. All gifts make an impact as we continue offering students with scholarships, equipment and facilities, and faculty support. Watch this video to learn more.
