About DCP Research Symposium
Research is critical to advancing knowledge in the disciplines and programs in the University of Florida College of Design, Construction, and Planning (DCP). The disciplinary reach in DCP is quite impressive, including departments, schools, and programs from Architecture, Construction Management, Historic Preservation, Interior Design, Landscape Architecture, Sustainability, and the Built Environment to Urban and Regional Planning.
Collectively, the research and scholarship taking place in this mix are exciting. Our college hosts its thirteenth Research Symposium—we welcome the time and space to explore extraordinary people-and place-based scholarship in our community.
Welcome to the 2021 DCP Research Symposium and explore:
A virtual poster session celebrates student research from PhDs, master’s students, and undergraduate scholars who are ready to share their research and creative scholarship with you.
Learn about cutting edge research of the new cohort of tenure track faculty from five departments or schools who joined DCP this semester.
