Its history originated from 1952 and 1952, which was established on February 3, 1952. It started in Lushan, Jiangxi, and then moved to Wuhan. Wuhan Institute of Urban Construction was founded in 1963, and was called Wuhan Architectural Engineering School in the summer of 1965. 1973 merged with Beijing Institute of Building Materials, which moved southward, to establish Wuhan Institute of Building Materials Industry; 65438-0979 The Department of Architectural Engineering of Wuhan Institute of Building Materials Technology set up the major of urban planning. 1985 In February, three classes of urban planning major of Wuhan Institute of Building Materials moved to the new campus of Wuhan Institute of Urban Construction. 1986 set up architecture major.

Since 1982, 22 people have graduated from architecture department, and 22 have graduated from graduate school. Students who graduated in early years have become the backbone talents of the unit.

Urban planning department

The Department of Urban Planning of Huazhong University of Science and Technology was formerly the Department of Architectural Engineering of Wuhan Institute of Building Materials, and 1979 resumed undergraduate enrollment in urban planning. 1982, Wuhan Urban Construction College of the Ministry of Construction resumed work. 1February, 985, the urban planning major of Wuhan Institute of Building Materials moved to the new campus of Wuhan Institute of Urban Construction in three and a half classes, and established the urban planning department, the urban management department and the landscape architecture department. 199 1 Wuhan urban construction college was restructured, and some urban planning teachers from the Department of Landscape Architecture and Urban Management and the Department of Urban Planning established the Department of Urban Planning and Architecture. In May 2000, the Department of Urban Planning was merged into the newly established School of Architecture and Urban Planning of Huazhong University of Science and Technology, and the Department of Urban Planning was established as the major of urban planning.

The Department of Urban Planning 1979 began to recruit four-year urban planning undergraduate majors, and 1995 changed to five-year programs. 1994 was awarded the master's degree in urban planning and design, and the doctor's degree in urban planning and design in 2005.

Department of Art and Design

The art design department of Huazhong University of Science and Technology has two major directions: environmental art design and digital art design. 1997 was approved by the Ministry of Education to enroll undergraduate students in art design, and in 2003, master students in art design were enrolled. Over the past ten years, its specialty has experienced a process from initial discipline construction to steady development. Art design major is a new comprehensive subject. In the proportion of artistic modeling and technical courses, the major of art design in our school is architecture, urban planning, civil engineering, computer and other disciplines. The strong professional teachers and teaching space required for art design courses, the wide range of disciplines, the thick foundation, the reasonable teacher-student ratio structure and the rigorous teaching style ensure the excellent quality of students and teaching.
