4 Architecture Drive, #03-04 Singapore 117566History of the Department
The Department of the Built Environment (DBE) was created on 1 July 2021 after a rebranding of the Department of Building (DOB). The DOB was established on 1 June 2000 when the Faculty of Architecture, Building and Real Estate was restructured as the School of Design and Environment. The Department has a proud history of over 50 years, tracing its roots to the Department of Building and Real Estate which was established in 1969.
This departmental rebranding heralds the dawn of a new era which firmly anchors the department at the forefront of Built Environment education and research. This rebranding serves to future-proof our educational offerings to transcend beyond the traditional notions of building, project, and facilities management. This thereby ensures that our graduates remain highly sought-after by the relevant industries.
Our Vision
To be a global knowledge leader in project management, facilities management, contract management and technology management in the sustainable built environment.
Our Mission
To advance knowledge, educate learners, and foster enterprise in project management, facilities management, contract management and technology management in the sustainable built environment.
