I am an employee of the University of Technology Sydney (UTS) and have a declared conflict of interest. Following the university's academic restructure, the Faculty of Design, Architecture and Building (DAB) has been disestablished and merged into the newly formed Faculty of Design and Society.

I request that an independent editor update the article introduction and the infobox data to reflect these historical changes, including the appointment of the inaugural Dean for the new structure and the updated website.

Proposed Introduction Update

The UTS Faculty of Design, Architecture and Building (abbreviated as DAB) was a faculty of the University of Technology Sydney (UTS) in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. Established in 1988, it offered undergraduate, postgraduate, and doctoral programs across architecture, design, and the built environment.

Following an academic restructure, the faculty was disestablished and its disciplines were merged alongside the former Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences (FASS) and the UTS Animal Logic Academy to form the new Faculty of Design and Society.

Proposed Infobox Updates

Type: Former faculty
Dean: Professor James Bennett (Inaugural Dean of the Faculty of Design and Society, appointed January 2026)
Website: https://www.uts.edu.au/about/faculties/design-and-society
