Established in 2009, the MassArt Community Build program promotes projects for public and nonprofit entities that solve practical problems and encourage human interaction in the built environment. Through education, advocacy, and research leading to design and construction, it provides opportunities for students and communities to work as partners on design-build projects.
MassArt's Community Build team, comprised of students in the Master of Architecture program was charged with addressing both practical and conceptual design improvements to the handicap ramp in courtyard of MassArt's Campus in Boston, MA. That included evaluating drainage problems and developing a design strategy that aligned with MassArt’s Strategic Plan.
