The School of Architecture and Planning is housed in historic Hayes and Crosby Halls on UB's South Campus. Our state-of-the-art facilities and academic resources include the latest technology in digital fabrication and computing to a specialized library for architecture and planning.
The School of Architecture and Planning was created half a century ago as a direct challenge to orthodox design education. We live those original principles today, committed to architecture and planning as interdisciplinary problem-solving enterprises, rooted in social engagement, nourished by research-in-practice, animated by making and doing, and committed to meeting the needs of clients, communities, and society in an increasingly complex urban world.
