Master of Landscape Architecture, Master of Architecture, and Master of Urban Design programs all operate in the heart of Cleveland's vibrant Playhouse Square District, together with the College of Architecture and Environmental Design’s (CAED’s) Cleveland Urban Design Collaborative (CUDC). Cleveland, an urbanized landscape offers students unique opportunities to partner with the place and the allied areas of landscape architecture, urban design, and architecture provide students with an opportunity to expand interdisciplinary discourse.  

Students are engaged in issues ranging from hydrology in the Great Lakes – Ohio River Basins watershed to the role of urban landscapes associated with industrial cities and matters of global significance relating to the role of landscape and design relative to reclamation of urban vacancies, infrastructural systems, natural resources, climate change, water quality for health and social justice, and cultural landscapes.
