To Alumni and Friends of the College of Environmental Design:

We at Berkeley’s College of Environmental Design embrace the challenge to be stewards of our environment. We know, now more than ever, that in order to sustain our quality of life, we must rethink how, what, and where we build. CED was the first college to advance a whole-system approach to designing for the built environment, and we continue to be a leader. By making a gift to the CED Fund, you can help the college continue to offer students the chance to develop and promote design solutions that are sustainable, equitable, and enriching.

With an eye to the future, CED is impacting our world by:

  • Designing state-of-the-art buildings that consume less energy and produce less waste through the use of cutting-edge materials, creative planning, and natural heating, cooling, ventilation, and lighting strategies.
     
  • Revitalizing urban areas for the coming century through the design of well-built, transit-oriented, carbon-neutral “eco-communities” that successfully balance human, social, and ecological needs.
     
  • Exploring digital design technologies that streamline project management — reducing costs and saving time while boosting accuracy and productivity.
     
  • Working on policy and planning reforms that change the way we build locally and influence trends worldwide.
     

Thanks in large part to support from alumni and friends, these and other exciting advances in sustainable design are taking shape at CED. Please join me in supporting the extraordinary work of our students and faculty — consider making your contribution to the CED Fund today.

Sincerely,

Jennifer Wolch
Dean, College of Environmental Design; William W. Wurster Professor of City and Regional Planning
