John F. Crowley III
is the Dean of the new College of Environment and Design at the University of Georgia. The
College houses the largest program of landscape architecture in the United States. It is also one of the oldest programs beginning with degrees in
landscape horticulture in the 1880¡¦s with its first bachelors degree of landscape architecture given in 1928. Along with the 5-year undergraduate professional degree (ranked second nationally), the
College offers a 3-year professional masters degree in landscape architecture (ranked fourth nationally) along with a 2-year masters degree in historic preservation. The new College
was formed in conjunction with the internationally respected Institute of Ecology founded by Eugene Odum. The new academic unit which will introduce a broader array of environmental design and ecology degree programs to meet contemporary and future demands will also include a unique interdisciplinary Academy for Environmental Research and Service.
In the more personal realm, Crowley contributes considerable time in the areas of "pro bono" urban and civic design for cities and towns throughout Georgia and the Southeast. He continues to develop and own real estate projects, serves on numerous boards and commissions and consults. Recently he completed a $130 million technology office structure in Tulsa, OK. Presently he is advising the Williams Companies (Tulsa) on a large mixed-use project in Florida and the Pechanga Development Corporation on a $200 million resort and casino complex in southern California.
Jack is a member of many development and conservation organizations such as the Urban Land Institute and Nature Conservancy. Professionally he is a member of the American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA) and is a Fellow of the American Institute of Certified Planners (FAICP).
An accomplished artist, Jack loves the outdoors, and travel and aspires to
consolidate enough time to play golf.
