University of Utah College of Architecture and Planning

Bailey brought a variety of young faculty members to Utah, including Charles Moore, Gordon Heck, and James Acland.

In 1970 the GSA moved into its new building, a fine example of "brutalist" architecture by the local firm of Edwards and Daniels Architects.

In 1969, through the joint sponsorship of the school and the Utah Society of the American Institute of Architects, ASSIST, Inc., an independent, non-profit community design center was founded.

During this period, the school re-examined its degree offerings, due in part to the length of time it took to complete the program, lack of flexibility for differing student interests, and decreasing enrollments.

Dean Miller offered the architecture school a national presence through his activities with ACSA, AIA, NAAB and NCARB.

As a leader in higher education, Chakraborty is committed to supporting the next generation of architects, designers, gamers and planners, and works to advance the teaching, research, and public engagement mission of the University of Utah.

Previously, Chakraborty was an associate dean and a professor of urban and regional planning at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign where his work helped develop new guidelines for recognizing significant and sustained community engagement.
