1991 April Laboratory of Building Material was renamed to Laboratory of Urban Space Safety Engineering which formed one of the nuclear course in the Department of Global Environmental Engineering (new graduate department independent of the undergraduate school)
- Laboratory of Building Environment Control was renamed to Laboratory of Built Environment Materials and Structural Systems, while Laboratory of Building System was renamed to Laboratory of Housing and Environmental Design. Both of them formed the cooperate laboratories with the Department of Global Environmental Engineering (new graduate department which is independent of the undergraduate school)
1996 April The School of Architecture and the School of Architectural Engineering were combined and rearranged to form the Graduate School and the School of Architecture.
At the same time, all the instructors were re-appointed to respective positions in the Department of Architecture and Architectural Engineering, the Department of Architecture and Environmental Design , and the Department of Global Environmental Engineering under the Graduate School of Engineering
2003 April The Department of Architecture and Architectural Engineering, the Department of Architecture and Environmental Design, and the Department of Global Environmental Engineering were restructured to form the Department of Architecture and Architectural Engineering and the Department of Urban and Environmental Engineering under the Graduate School of Engineering
2010 April The Department of Architecture and Architectural Engineering and parts of the Department of Global Environmental Engineering were integrated to form the Department of Architecture and Architectural Engineering under the Graduate School of Engineering.
