What is Environmental Design?

Environmental design studies the relationships we have with the built and natural environments, and the ways human interactions affect the surrounding environment. We encounter expressions of environmental design in our daily lives: the buildings in which we dwell; the green spaces we enjoy; the cities and roads we traverse; and forms of visual design that translate and deliver complex ideas.

The College of Environmental Design (ENV) at Cal Poly Pomona offers undergraduate and graduate degrees in architecture, landscape architecture, and urban and regional planning; undergraduate degrees in art history and visual communication design; and a minor and graduate degree in Regenerative Studies. It also manages operations of two permanent University Art Galleries, the W. Keith & Janet Kellogg University Art Gallery and the Don B. Huntley Gallery.

ENV uses the rich creative economy and cultural capital of Southern California – and its geographical advantage as a global gateway for trade and ideas – to prepare students for successful careers. We educate and train future designers to be problem-solvers who are socially conscious and environmentally aware, concerned with craft and justice, and technically and technologically sophisticated. The strength of our programs are consistently reflected in national rankings.

The College is open for virtual/remote services in Spring 2021. See the ENV Master Directory to connect with a department and to learn the status of services and facilities.

California's Commitment to an Equitable and Environmentally Responsive Transportation System: A Virtual Public Lecture by Toks Omishakin

 

Toks Omishakin, director of the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), will give a virtual public lecture and host a Q&A session on Feb. 17 from 6:30-7:30 p.m. (PST).

The event is co-hosted by the College of Environmental Design and the College of Engineering. After the lecture, the audience is invited to engage in a Q&A session moderated by Danny Wu, Executive Director of Planning and Transportation at Cal Poly Pomona. Register here to receive the Zoom link.

Appointed in October 2019, Omishakin manages a $15 billion budget and nearly 21,000 employees. His transportation vision for California features a safe, sustainable and multimodal transportation system that builds on strong local partnerships. He believes that transformative innovation will be needed to achieve zero traffic-related deaths and a 40% reduction of greenhouse gases (GHGs) by 2030.
