The Department of Architecture has a history spanning over more than 60 years. Established in 1962, it is notable for providing Pakistan’s first professional five-year architecture degree program (B.Arch). As a result, the Department has been instrumental in developing the architectural profession nationwide. With about 1,700 graduates, it has a sizable alumni base that has contributed significantly to the development of Pakistan’s built environment today.

The Department has accumulated unparalleled knowledge in several areas of the architectural profession throughout the years. At the moment, its faculty is significantly more qualified than that of any other architecture school or department in the nation, as is the scope and depth of its knowledge base.
