About
ABOUT US
Design Connect strives to empower both students and citizens by advancing collaborative, democratic, and sustainable design projects in Upstate New York.
We research, build consensus, generate ideas, and identify opportunities for our partner municipalities and non-profits.
​
We are a student-led organization housed in the Department of City and Regional Planning (CRP). Our teams are made up experienced and aspiring planners, architects, engineers, policy-writers, designers, and many more. Students from any degree program join a Design Connect team for credit and experience work outside the classroom while partnering with real communities.
Projects are announced at the beginning of each semester, and all students are encouraged to sign-up for a unique and impactful program.
