The University of Calgary’s Faculty of Environmental Design is preparing to launch a new Master of Landscape Architecture program. The 3-year program will reportedly be the first of its kind to be offered in Alberta, and the first to be started in Canada since 1980. Associate Dean Beverly Sandalack said that the program will respond to a number of pressing social issues involving landscape, place-making, and sustainability; Dean Nancy Pollock-Ellwand added that graduates of the program will be in a strong position to improve the quality of neighbourhoods in rapidly urbanizing communities like Calgary. The interdisciplinary program will involve elements of architecture and planning, and will provide students with the opportunity to work on real-world projects. The program received its approval from the Alberta Ministry of Innovation and Advanced Education 2 weeks ago and its first cohort of 15 students will begin studies this fall. uCalgary News | Metro News
