Design for a Resilient Future
Landscape architecture involves the design of sustainable communities, the experiential quality of place, and the thoughtful stewardship of land. It is a creative STEM profession that encompasses the art and science of designing, planning and managing the natural and built environments.
The mission of the Department of Landscape Architecture is to provide a broad-based education that instills the ability to think critically, foster creative problem solving, develops a theoretical foundation for landscape architecture, and an understanding of technologies. An emphasis on teaching, research, and public service will facilitate human habitat design which appropriately responds to environmental, social, and aesthetic issues.
Faculty and staff of the Martin-Gatton College of Agriculture, Food and Environment are committed to creating an environment of mutual respect where students are encouraged to achieve their highest potential, regardless of, but not limited to race, ethnicity, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, national origin, religion, age, ability and socioeconomic status. The goal is to work together as a group of engaged students, faculty and staff to ensure all feel welcome, safe and accepted.
