Tell me more about the SDC 2025 Program!

The Coalition of Community College Architecture Programs announces the 2025 Student Design Competition for the design of the Wellness Activity Center, a community center geared at providing health and wellness information for the community. This program is responding to issues currently facing many rural areas of inequities in access to health information resources, including Primary care physicians, dentists, specialist and health literacy.

 

The need exists to provide rural and underserved communities with access to health care, health literacy and fitness. Many Rural Communities suffer access to adequate health care and knowledge about health choices. The project proposes to intervene in this one site with a multi-use facility that can begin to offer residents access to health information and knowledge as well as provide a space dedicated to understanding and promoting health.
