UNCG's Department oflnteri­or
Architecture will officially join
the College of Arts & Sciences on
July 1, 2011. The department is
currently housed in the School of
Human Environmental Scienc;es
(HES). The HES department is
undergoing a restructuring ef­fort
that involves the creation of
a new academic unit focused on
health and human development.
The Restructuring Committee is
working to complete a reorga­nization
plan by the end of this
spring semester. They will also
make recommendations about
the new unit, including whether
it should be a school or college
and what programs should be
housed under it. The phm will be
submitted to the UNCG Board of
Trustees and the UNC system's
Board of Governors with the goal
of full implementation by fall
2012. .
Anna Marshall-Baker, head of
the Department of Interior Ar­chitecture,
requested the move to
the College of Arts & SCiences in
a Jan. 14 letter to Provost David
Perrin. Perrin called the college
"the academic unit at the uni-
. versity in which our department
may continue to -develop and
thrive:'
The move will support further
collaboration, Marshall-Baker
says, especially with the Depart­ment
of Art. Future projects
could include a downtown arts
center, digital studios, gallery
spaces, interdisciplinary instruc-.
tional teams and community
engagement. "Our department
flourished in the School of Hu­man
Environmental Sciences un­der
the guidance of Dean Laura
Sims;' Marshall-Baker wrote.
"We are grateful to her for her
support and will miss her lead­ership.
We appreciate the en­couragement
and enthusiasm of
Dean Johnston regarding a move
into Arts and Sciences and look
forward to building new relation­ships
in the College beginning
July 1 20l1:'
Dean of the College of Arts
and Sciences, Tim Johnston, wel­comes
the Department of Interi­or
Architecture enthusiastitally.
He stated that, "I am very pleased
by the department's decision to .
request a move to the College and
I am working with Dr. Marshall­Baker
and her faculty and staff to
make the transition as .smooth
as possible. The department has
strong and successful programs
at the undergradu,ate' and gradu­ate
levels and an accomplished
faculty who will bring a variety of

of a progressive and anti-racist
public poli<;y agenda;' as sciid by
