The Work

  • Worked in a graduate school studio team to develop alternative, community-based uses for APS’ underutilized properties 

  • Guided by equity goals, the studio established decision-making frameworks and initial recommendations for four properties based on APS’ stated priorities and goals. Recommendations adhered to the following objectives:

    • Prioritizing the equitable distribution of resources and opportunity

    • Addressing the intrinsic connection between student and community success

    • Fostering community engagement and buy-in for new initiatives

  • Conducted intake sessions with Board members, APS staff and school principals to inform recommendations for site development based on local need

The Client
