The Bartlett is the Faculty of the Built Environment at University College London. University College London created the first chair of architecture in 1841, and the school is named after the original benefactor, Sir Herbert Bartlett.

The Bartlett attracts a wide variety of visiting speakers and over the years has played host to key figures from the architectural world, including Bernard Tschumi, Charles Jencks and Neil Denari.

The Bartlett has long rivalled the Architectural Association in London as one of the leading UK architectural schools.

The Bartlett's Planning department, located on the fourth floor, makes a further important contribution to the understanding of the built environment.

In 2006, readers of ‘Architects’ Journal’ have once again judged UCL Bartlett to be the top UK school of architecture. In the annual AJ100 poll of the UK’s 100 largest architectural practices, UCL Bartlett attracted a quarter of all votes cast, comfortably seeing off rivals Oxford Brookes (second place, 11% of the vote), Glasgow School of Art (joint third, 9%), Sheffield University (joint third, 9%) and the Architectural Association (fifth, 8%).

It is the third consecutive year that UCL Bartlett has secured this honour, and sees the margin between the school and its opposition widen to 14%, up from 9% in 2005.
