The School of Environment & Architecture is set up as an academic space that furthers the discipline of architecture, enlarges it and makes it relevant for contemporary and future times.

Currently, the School runs an undergraduate course in architecture offering a B-Arch. degree, affiliated to the University of Mumbai and approved by the Council of Architecture. The activities of the School is governed by a joint group of persons from the Society for Environment & Architecture and  Suvidya Prasarak Sangh. It currently includes: Gauri Joshi, Milind Joshi, Neera Adarkar, Pankaj Joshi, Pradeep Joshi, Rupali Gupte and Savita Punde. The School aims at providing each individual in the school with a space for riyaz, and a contact with the world. Riyaz is an Indian term that encompasses the notions of perpetual experimentation of thought, practice, self evaluation and growth. This entails constant interaction with  theoreticians and  practitioners from across the world and a  deep  rooted engagement with varying contexts. The education imparted is aimed at responding to cultural, technological and economic contexts of society and oriented towards bringing about economic, social and gender equity in environment and architecture. It also focuses on creating relevance in discourse and practice of architecture along with criticality and delight in design. The School aims at creating architects who are sensitive to contexts, critical in orientation, creative in explorations, and equipped with relevant skills. It aims at bringing the discipline of architecture out of its compartmentalised specialisations, into a creative multidisciplinary engagement.
