Kent State University recently received a grant to help support one of its programs that facilitates architecture, urban design and landscape architecture.
In an effort to expand racial and ethnic diversity in the design fields, the university’s Cleveland Urban Design Collaborative created Making Our Own Space , a design/build program for middle and high school students. The program introduces youth to opportunities in architecture, urban design and landscape architecture.
“In one neighborhood that looked like making a bus stop, so the students at the bus stop that they usually use to go to school, they'd have shelter from rain whenever they're waiting for the bus to come and other places,” said program coordinator Clifford Benjamin. “It looks like having more park benches or places to sit.”
MOOS students envision and implement projects that make their neighborhoods better, safer and more welcoming.
