About DCP Research Symposium
Research is critical to advancing knowledge in the disciplines and programs housed in the University of Florida College of Design, Construction and Planning (DCP), including Architecture, Construction Management, Historic Preservation, Interior Design, Landscape Architecture, Sustainability and the Built Environment, and Urban and Regional Planning. Collectively, the research taking place in this mix of disciplines is thoughtful and thought-provoking.
