The School of Architecture and Urban Planning (SARUP), a Center of Excellence in the University of Wisconsin system, offers an extensive array of degree programs—BSAS, M.Arch, Ph.D., MUP and Coordinated M.Arch/MUP, matched by only 6 other architecture schools nationally. The Ph.D. program is one of only 23 in the nation. SARUP extends its global outreach with both sponsored studios and travel abroad. These special topic studios provide our students with venues to address serious global issues in collaboration with practitioners and industry leaders. The international dimension is evident in our study abroad programs in France, England, Italy, Mexico and Puerto Rico. In the past few years, programs have been expanded to Japan, China, The Netherlands, India, Cuba and Chile. Regional issues tackled in the global arena are evident in SARUP’s international Solar Decathlon competition entry for a carbon neutral house. The School offers two significant international design awards, the $100,000 Marcus Prize, a biennial award given to emerging international voices in architecture and the $50,000 Urban Edge Award, recognizing excellence in urban design and the ability of individuals to create major, positive change within the public realm. These prize winning architects provide new lenses through which students learn to view architectural design, discourse, and problem solving. The School’s current pedagogical position is best summarized in the journal of selected student design work, Calibrations 3: Positions. In addition to leading studios, SARUP’s outstanding faculty have collectively written over 60 books that are distributed internationally and used by schools and practices around the world. A number of the texts are best sellers and considered seminal works in their fields. Faculty continue to receive national recognition for their work in research and practice including the NCARB Prize for Design Research and the AIA Award in the Curriculum Development Category.
The UWM Planetarium was constructed in 1966 and named after Manfred Olson (1905-1966), a physics professor at the university from 1931 to 1963. Olson worked at the University of Chicago in 1943, and from 1947 to 1949 was a senior physicist at Los Alamos, New Mexico, where he worked on Geiger counter systems. After retiring from UWM, he became the Planetarium Director and part-time lecturer in the physics department. Jean Creighton is the current director. She was born in Toronto, Canada, and moved as a child to Athens, Greece. Creighton obtained a Bachelor of Science degree in physics from the University of Athens-Greece. She crossed the Atlantic again to earn a degree in astronomy from Saint Mary’s University in Halifax, Nova Scotia, and a Ph.D. in astrophysics from the University of Waterloo. In addition, Creighton did infrared satellite research at the California Institute of Technology from 1998-1999 before coming to Milwaukee to teach astronomy. Creighton became the Planetarium director in January 2007, and in the past four years she has organized approximately a thousand shows and special events.
