FACULTY OF THE BUI LT ENVIRONMENT The Faculty of the Built Environment (FOBE) was established in 1998 under the new charter and statute of the University of Technology, Jamaica. However, its history goes back to 1958 when the Diploma in Construction Technology was offered in the Engineering Department of the then recently established College of Arts, Science & Technology (CAST). As demand increased for widening training opportunities in Construction Engineering and related disciplines, the Faculty increased its offerings. The early Building Department was established in 1978 with six divisions delivering diploma and/or certificate programmes. In 1988 the Caribbean School of Architecture was instituted. The Faculty now comprises two schools, namely, the Caribbean School of Architecture (CSA) and the School of Building and Land Manage¬ment (SBLM). The CSA offers one Bachelor’s Degree and one Master’s Degree. The SBLM offers seven Bachelor’s Degrees, two Diploma and one Associate Degree. The School also offers three Master’s Degree and one MPhil/PhD programmes. In addition, faculty members are actively involved in research and consultancy relating to issues of the built environment. Programmes are recognized within the international arena by professional bodies such as UN Habitat, The World Bank, The Commonwealth Association of Architects (CAA) and Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS). The Faculty seeks to fulfil its mandate by offering world class programmes which are tailored to the needs of the industry.
