Director of UB's Center for Urban Studies and a member of the urban planning faculty for more than 30 years, Henry Taylor continues to bring his impassioned perspective on urban life and racial justice to both the university and the city he calls home. 

The School of Architecture and Planning celebrates the work we do together to "see" and eliminate the legacies of systemic racism and mobilize our professions as forces for regenerative change. 

As we open the spring 2021 semester, we embrace signs of hope – the deployment of a COVID-19 vaccine, the prospect of relief from the pandemic, and UB's plans to return to campus more fully in fall 2021. Still, we continue to adapt with creativity and optimism to the changing circumstances of this historic moment. 

Four teams of senior architecture students were recognized for their proposals during the senior competition final review. The fall studio is the last design studio in the BS Arch curriculum, when students tackle integrated architectural design - a synthesis of concept and construct addressing design strategy, program, site, construction, and technology.
