Biographical / Historical

The College of Environmental Design, commonly referred to as ENV, was created at California State Polytechnic University, Pomona in 1971 when the department of Environmental Design was removed from the School of Agriculture and established as a separate school.
The new school initially offered degrees in Architecture, Landscape Architecture, and Urban Planning, all of which had been developed by the School of Agriculture. Landscape Architecture had been first offered in 1957 as an option in the School of Agriculture's Ornamental Horticulture Department. It was established as a separate major department in 1962. Landscape Architecture majors had the option to specialize in Urban Planning beginning in 1965. By 1968, Urban Planning was offered as a separate degree and students could specialize in Architecture. The department was renamed Environmental Design in 1968 and by 1969 was offering degrees in Landscape Architecture, Urban Planning, and an option in Architecture.
When the School of Environmental Design was established in 1971, Architecture was offered as a separate major. Noted architect Raymond Kappe chaired the new department until 1973. The department of Urban Planning was renamed Urban and Regional Planning in 1983. The school was renamed the College of Environmental Design in 1988 and a fourth major, in Environmental Studies, was offered the same year.
In 1992, the Department of Art was transferred from the College of Art to the College of Environmental Design. As part of this transfer, the University Art Gallery also came under the purview of ENV. The Gallery had opened in Fall of 1988 as part of Cal Poly Pomona's 50th anniversary celebration. An extension of the University Union building (today known as the Bronco Student Center), it is a 4000 square foot exhibition space for the display of professional art works. The gallery was later renamed and rededicated as the W. Keith and Janet Kellogg University Art Gallery in 1992.
The College of Environmental Design also administers the Don B. Huntley Gallery located on the 4th floor of the University Library. The Huntley Gallery opened in 2013 and is named for Cal Poly Pomona alumnus and benefactor Don B. Huntley.
LandLab, a 339-acre facility for education and research in sustainable use of land resources, was created in 1985 as a joint project of Cal Poly Pomona and the Los Angeles County Sanitation District. The two parties signed the Spadra Landfill Resource Conservation Agreement, in which the university allowed the use of 74 acres of its canyon land to be used for nontoxic landfill purposes. In exchange, the university received title to Spadra Landfill, which had been established in 1957 to serve surrounding residential communities. In addition, the university would receive annual funding from the Sanitation District to support research such as slope revegetation, landfill settlement, use of reclaimed water, aerosol studies, and biota responses to landfill. LandLab was formally dedicated on May 10, 1989.
The Center for Regenerative Studies was conceived as a component of the LandLab facility. Originally named the Institute for Regenerative Studies, it is a self-sustaining community that makes use of on-site resources and operates with renewable energy. Planning for the Center began in 1986 and ground was broken for Phase I in 1992. The Center accepted its first students in 1994 and joined the College of Environmental Design in 1996. In 1999, the Center was renamed the John T. Lyle Center for Regenerative Studies in honor of landscape architecture professor, John T. Lyle, who had founded the Center and guided its design and development.
As of 2020, the College includes five departments and offers 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. The College also maintains an archive of projects by students.
