Landscape Architecture
We offer an accredited, professional Bachelor of Science degree in Landscape Architecture (BSLA), as well as a Master of Science (MS), and a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD). We are a small program where the students and faculty form a strong, close-knit community. We are composed of approximately 60 undergraduate students, a small group of graduate students, and six faculty members. We design, research, teach, and do public outreach, imagining vibrant communities and creating places of value; while protecting and restoring our natural and cultural resources. We strive toward actionable and collaborative practices that address climate justice and social equity. If you are a spatial thinker and you love art and design and you love plants and horticulture, then this is the program for you. Learn more about us.
Happy summer! We may have been quiet but we have still been busy. Today, after @uconncahnr transfer orientation, we stopped by the floriculture greenhouses to check out our growing teaching collection #weloveplants

Student sharing continues with Atlas Collazo (class of 2025) @_.stickbug._
Design proposal for Land Bank Property in Hartford, Connecticut.
The project is based on the implementation of green infrastructure in the property, with a main focus on the backyard. With this design, stormwater management issues would be solved while supporting and increasing wildlife population. The goal of this project is to promote and strengthen the connection between nature and human beings.
Thank you to Dr. Park (@uahanna) for her suggestions and support throughout the development of this design.

Amazing event yesterday at #sliverbytheriver to celebrate the incredible transformation underway on site with @groundworkbridgeport @trustforpublicland @cityofbptct @nationalparkservice @ctseagrant @aspetucklt @connecticut_asla and many others. Happy to have played a small part in imagining the potential of the site with our students as well as the potential for fence art (a shoutout to Tara Sweeney ‘23 for this idea and to Almariet Robert and the team @groundworkbridgeport and @cityofbptct and the incredible artists for making this happen) Was great to share a space with @ctseagrant and @uconnextension #collaboration #bridgeportwaterfront #bringingaccess #servicelearning #blockpARTy #sliverbytheriver #yellowmill
