Administrative history
The Landscape Architecture Program began in 1980 in the Department of Plant Science, Faculty of Agriculture. While the Program's main objective is to provide a comprehensive landscape education, it is also meant to train professionals capable of confronting the critical resource issues which are of vital concern to western Canada's economic and social future. Landscape education includes training in site design, graphic communication and construction technology. The curriculum consists of design studios, landscape construction studios, lecture courses in landscape architecture, and other disciplines. In 1985 the Landscape Architecture Program was one of the programs that UBC considered cutting due to budget restraints. One of the criteria for cutting the program was the lack of research that was being carried out. In response, a Research and Development Endowment Fund was established, seeking pledges from landscape architects. The pledges aided the cause, and the Senate voted against discontinuing the program.
