Description
ARCHITECTURE AT YALE UNIVERSITY was born into the Yale School of the Fine Arts in 1879, when courses were first initiated for aspiring architects. It was not until 1916 that a formal Department of Architec¬ture was established, and then in 1959 the School of Art and Architecture was made a professional school. The principal mission of the School of Architecture has always been to “empower students with the skills necessary to shape the built environment.”
In 2016, one hundred years after its establishment, the Yale School of Architecture appointed its first female leader, Dean Deborah Berke. Dean Berke has always been a strong supporter of females in the profession, and female empowerment has been an important goal for her as the new leader of the school.
In commemoration of the 50th anniversary of coeducation in Yale College and the 150th anniversary of women students at the university this is a part of the 50WomenAtYale150 programming.
