Built Environments: Construction and Design
From the homes we live in, to the buildings and public spaces we visit, built environments are a part of our daily experiences. People that work in this field take into consideration building and environmental materials, how spaces function and design aesthetics.
In the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources, the built environment programs partner hands-on experiences with a strong background in theory and design.
We study design, packaging, construction, landscape and interior design to create better physical spaces and products both in the home and around the world!
Built Environment majors include:
Construction Management
Construction management involves overseeing the complete process starting from the pre-construction stage where an owner decides what they want to build through planning, design and construction.
Horticulture
The undergraduate Horticulture program integrates plant and soil science, entomology, pathology, technology and business management to prepare students to meet the challenges of an expanding multi-billion dollar-industry in intensively cultivated, high-value crops.
Interior Design
Interior design is a profession incorporating both the functionality and aesthetics of indoor spaces. Interior designers understand the importance of the relationship between human beings and the complex microenvironment that they use.
Landscape Architecture
Landscape Architecture is the design profession that applies artistic, scientific and technical knowledge and skills to the analysis, design, planning, development and management of built and natural environments across scales from local to global.
Packaging
Packaging is a technical and science based program incorporating every aspect of packaging, from materials and processes through systems development and testing. Laboratories are an integral component in the majority of packaging undergraduate courses, providing students with hands-on experience.
