The Cal Poly Pomona College of Environmental Design (CENV) is a college part of the California State Polytechnic University, Pomona (Cal Poly Pomona). The college houses over 1,600 students; making it one of largest environmental design programs in the United States. The college offers bachelor's degrees in five departments, as well as three master's degree programs. It offers a Master of Interior Architecture, professional degree (M. INT. ARCH.) in collaboration with the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA).[2]

The Cal Poly Pomona College of Environmental Design is the only academic unit within the California State University system to be associated with a Pritzker Prize laureate (often referred to as "The Nobel Prize in Architecture").

History[]

College of Environmental Design, Cal Poly Pomona

The design and planning programs at Cal Poly Pomona evolved from the undergraduate landscape architecture program that originally was part of the School of Agriculture.[3] After approval of the creation of a new School of Environmental Design, the landscape and urban planning programs moved into their current building in January 1971. The Department of Urban Planning was created and soon after a Department of Architecture. Department of Urban Planning was renamed "Department of Urban and Regional Planning" in 1983 to reflect an expanded program. The School was renamed the "College of Environmental Design" in 1988. The Department of Art was transferred to Environmental Design from the College of Arts in 1992.

In 1978, the College was briefly led by Richard Saul Wurman, founder of the TED (conference) and given credit for coining the term "information architect".[4]

IDC (Interim Design Center)

In the summer of 2009 the university hired former Los Angeles City Councilman and member of the Planning Commission Michael Woo to serve as Dean of the college.

The college is housed in several buildings around campus including Building 7, designed by modernist architect Carl Maston, Building 13, and the Interim Design Center, a 30,000-square-foot (2,800 m2) design studio building at the east end of the campus. Current[when?] plans are for a new Architecture Building adjacent to the Interim Design Center.

Academic programs and departments[]

Architecture[]

The Department of Architecture is a member of the . Two programs are accredited by the National Architectural Accrediting Board. The undergraduate program was ranked 16th nationally in the 2014 edition of "America's Best Architecture & Design Schools" published by the journal DesignIntelligence[6] and was in the top 20 in the 2011 survey.[7] In 2009, the program was named one of three schools in the nation that excel in sustainable design by Arch Ed 2009 published by Architecture (magazine).[8] The program has been "impacted"[9] since its inception over 40 years ago,[10] with many more students applying than can be accommodated. In 2002 the department admitted 15 percent of undergraduate applicants making it the 5th most selective Bachelor of Architecture program in the country.[11] By 2007 the department's acceptance rate was down to 9 percent, or 225 out of 2,551 applicants,[12] of which 100 enrolled.

Due to the design studio based structure of the program, the student to faculty ratio is a relatively low 17 to 1.[13] Prior to graduation students are required to complete a 500-hour internship under NCARB.[14]

Notable and influential 20th-century architects that have taught at the department include Richard Neutra,[15] Raphael Soriano[16] Craig Ellwood,[17] Richard Saul Wurman,[18] Thom Mayne,[19] James Pulliam[20] and Ray Kappe,[21] who together with Bernard Zimmerman founded the program in 1968.[21] After a falling out with university administrators, a group went on to form the Southern California Institute of Architecture in 1972.[22] Past faculty include: Aaron Betsky, , , Margaret Griffin.

Current[when?] Cal Poly Pomona tenured and tenure track Architecture faculty are: George Proctor (Chair), Sarah Lorenzen, Kip Dickson (Grad Coordinator), Robert Alexander, Lauren Bricker, Michael Fox, Luis Hoyos, Pablo La Roche, Juintow Lin, Alexander Ortenberg, Irma Ramirez, Axel Schmitzberger, Marc Schulitz, Katrin Terstegen, and Hofu Wu.

Art: Art History, Visual Communication Design, Studio Art[]

The Department of Art is the only Department within the College of Environmental Design that offers degrees in two different disciplines, Art History, and Visual Communication Design, as well as two minors, Art History, and Studio Arts.

The first 4 year degree to be offered by the Department was a BA in Art with an Option in Fine Art, a BA in Art with an Option in Graphic Design, both in 1988. In 1999 a BA in Art with an Option in Art History was offered, later changed to a BA in Art History in 2012.

In 2004, the BA graphic design transitioned to a BFA in graphic Design, and then in 2015 transitioned to a BFA in Visual Communication Design.

In 2012, the University closed the BA in Art with an Option in Fine Art.

As of August, 2020, the Department of Art has 579 majors, between the disciplines, making Visual Communication Design, the largest 4 year degree in the College of Environmental Design, with 522 majors.

The print lab is a student run workplace based in Building 13, also known as the Art Department. It contains several 3D printers, a laser cutter, a copy machine[citation needed], a RISO copier, several large format Epson printers, and a Canon plotter.[citation needed] The lab was made possible thanks to multiple Spice grants written by Art Department faculty, Anthony Acock and Kevin Moore.

Landscape Architecture[]

The Bachelor of Science in Landscape Architecture (BSLA) is a general professional degree, nationally accredited by the American Society of Landscape Architects. The undergraduate and graduate program both ranked 10th nationally by DesignIntelligence 2014.[6] The department's students won 5 out of 20 awards[25] from the American Society of Landscape Architects student competition in 2008, more awards than Harvard and University of Pennsylvania. Longtime faculty member Takeo Uesugi designed the George and Takaye Aratani Japanese Garden adjacent to the CLA building on campus. In 2005, the college awarded Jack Dangermond, a department graduate and Forbes 400 richest persons in America, an honorary degree.[26] Due to the design studio based structure of the program, the student to faculty ratio is a relatively low 16 to 1.[13]

Urban and Regional Planning[]

The Bachelor of Science in Urban and Regional Planning is designed for students interested in working with the critical issues of social, environmental, and physical change in cities and regions. Student to faculty ratio is 24 to 1.[13] In 2008, the program was ranked 21st in the nation for Best Urban & Regional Planning graduate program amongst all private and public schools, according to Planetizen,[27] an online publication for the urban planning, design and development community and 2nd best for programs without a Ph.D.[28]

Lyle Center for Regenerative Studies[]

Located on 16 acres (65,000 m2) within the Cal Poly Pomona University campus, the Center researches and demonstrates a wide array of regenerative strategies including low-energy architecture, energy production technology, water treatment, organic agriculture, ecological restoration and sustainable community development. Up to 20 students can choose to reside in one of two dormitories on site. The center offers a Minor in Regenerative Studies and a Master of Science degree in Regenerative Studies. The center became the first carbon neutral facility in the California State University system.[29]
