CAPLA is developing the future of the built environment
The College of Architecture, Planning and Landscape Architecture is a national leader in sustainable design and planning for extreme climates and a university leader in community engagement. Our faculty and students go beyond classrooms and studios, revitalizing our communities and addressing complex local, regional and global issues. We are innovators, creating a future where hands-on design and planning stimulate sustainable innovation.
Your support empowers us to maintain and improve a hands-on learning environment, including a state-of-the-art materials lab and landscape laboratory. When you give to CAPLA, you afford students chances to compete in interdisciplinary design competitions, troubleshoot models on a life-size scale using virtual reality and work alongside top faculty on critically needed research.
“Our vision of building a changing world will only be achieved with a strong community. Supporters like you are helping create a future grounded in responsible design solutions. Please join us as we advance the UA’s historic land grant mission in innovative ways.”
– Dean Nancy Pollock-Ellwand

CAPLA has created a Laptop Loan Program to provide single-use laptops, capable of running our advanced software, to students without access to this technology
