The College of Architecture, Art, and Planning (AAP) at
Cornell University was established in 1871 as the School of Architecture with the hiring of
Charles Babcock as the first Professor creating the first four-year course of study in architecture in the
United States. Its first student, William Henry Miller, dropped out, but later designed many iconic buildings on campus including
Risley Hall,
Uris Hall and its adjoining McGraw Tower, the presidential mansion (today known as the
A.D. White House), and Boardman Hall, the original home of the
Law School. It is currently the smallest of the seven
undergraduate colleges and schools, with an undergraduate enrollment of 547 and a faculty over 60. The college is divided into three departments:
Architecture,
Art and
City and Regional Planning.
