Student Design Competition 2024

Refugee & Immigrant Center (RIC)


Because of the increasing number of refugees and immigrants coming into the United States, including into the Atlanta, Georgia area, the CCCAP proposes a Refugee & Immigrant Center (RIC) for this year's Student Design Competition.

The RIC will help new immigrants integrate into American culture and society. The center will provide a welcoming place for new refugees and immigrants and will provide some essential services for individuals and families. The RIC will empower immigrants and refugees to thrive in their new communities and pursue a just future.
