 College History
The Department of Architecture was founded in 1925, and for the first half of its existence, it was an autonomous unit called "The University of Florida School of Architecture." Over the years, related programs developed separate professional identities: Landscape Architecture (1933), Building Construction (1935), Interior Design (1952), and Urban and Regional Planning (1974).
The present identity dates from 1975 when the "College of Architecture and Fine Arts" was split into two separate entities, the "College of Architecture" and "College of Fine Arts." A new dean was appointed in 1976 and the current organization evolved soon afterward.
In May of 2000 the College of Architecture was renamed the College of Design, Construction and Planning and the Department of Architecture was renamed the School of Architecture.
