The College of Environmental Design at UC Berkeley is pleased to announce Professor of Architecture and Urban Design Renee Y. Chow as the newest Chair of the Department of Architecture. Chow, who has taught at the College since 1993, began her tenure in July. Most recently, she was the Associate Dean for Undergraduate Studies and formerly held the Eva Li Chair in Design Ethics (2005-2010) at CED.

Professor Chow, who is also a principal of Berkeley-based firm STUDIO URBIS: Architecture/Urban design, on her vision as the department's new Chair: "I hope to immediately strengthen our connections with the larger community—professional, alumni—and with residents and agencies in the Bay Area. I want the department to be seen as a resource and a partner in exploring the future of architecture and environmental design."
