Arcus Endowment Since 2000 the College of Environmental Design has received generous funding from the Arcus Foundation in Kalamazoo, Michigan, to support a wide range of critical and creative activities at the intersection of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) issues and architecture, city and regional planning, and landscape architecture. The endowment has supported the Arcus Award program (2002-2005) and a biennial scholar-in-residence program (2006-2010). Arcus Foundation Chair In 2011, the college received a gift of $1 million from the Arcus Foundation that, combined with a match from the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, creates a new $2 million endowed CED chair named the Arcus Chair in Gender, Sexuality and the Built Environment. The Arcus Chair builds upon work enabled by the Arcus Endowment, and is a timely initiative to introduce new generations of students to a practice of environmental design that respects difference, challenges hetero-normative assumptions, and confronts injustice and inequity in the making of buildings, communities, and metropolitan regions.
