Rowe, a former director of Rice University's school of architecture, was tapped for the Design School deanship after a search that first looked outside the school for possible candidates.
Garbe Professor Peter G. Rowe, chair of the department of architecture and urban design, was named Dean of the Graduate School of Design by President Neil L. Rudenstine yesterday.
"He's done an extraordinary job of strengthening the department of architecture and urban design," said McCue, who appointed Rowe chair of the department in 1988. "He has demonstrated the breadth of his capacity as a teacher, a scholar and an administrator."
Rowe, 46, was born in New Zealand and raised in Australia. He received an undergraduate degree in architecture from Melbourne University and a master's degree in urban design from Rice. Rowe left Rice for Harvard in 1985.
Design school officials said last week that Rowe was a top contender for the post. He was previously rumored to be on a short list of three candidates that included Robinson Professor of Architecture Jorge S. Silvetti and Travelstead Professor of Architecture William J. Mitchell.
