OUR MISSION & HISTORY

In 1969, the late Bruce McCarty, FAIA, then-President of the local AIA, alongside several local architects, returned from a trip to the community design center in Philadelphia and gathered roughly forty local professionals to discuss the need for such a center in this region. On April 15th, 1970, the East Tennessee Community Design Center (ETCDC) was incorporated.

The objective of ETCDC has been to make East Tennessee a better place by bringing professional design and planning assistance to communities and organizations lacking resources to acquire those services. Our mission is to Envision, Inspire, and Improve East Tennessee communities through design, collaboration, and leadership. The ETCDC also serves as a catalyst to initiate projects within our service area and serves as an advocate for quality design in the public realm. The ETCDC offers these services through the pro-bono contributions of area architects, interior designers, landscape architects, planners, engineers, construction specialists and other professionals.

Since its founding, the ETCDC has completed over 1,300 projects in the 16-county region it serves; this is thanks to our professional volunteers who have donated over 101,000 hours of their time!

Welcome

2024 marked the 54th year of the East Tennessee Community Design Center, and it showed yet again why this organization is such a crucial asset to East Tennessee. We worked on over 25 projects for local nonprofits and communities with the aid of over 20 professional volunteers. The following pages highlight those projects and that outreach. Other information relating to the ETCDC, such as our 2024 project volunteers and Board of Directors, is included. Projects shown in this book were worked on during the calendar year; some were completed and others are still in the design process as we transition into 2025. We hope you enjoy what follows, and we look forward to our 55th year of operation in 2025. Here’s to another year of Envisioning, Inspiring, and Improving East Tennessee through Design!

Other Involvements

The ETCDC and its volunteers also participate in various events throughout Knoxville, Knox County, and the region. Some of these are one-time events, and some are recurring. We are also involved in numerous ongoing local committees in Knoxville. Some of these events and involvements include:

• • • • • •

THE COMMUNITY COLLABORATIVE The Community Collaborative is a focused effort between multiple local organizations on the challenges facing our communities. The goal of the Collaborative is to highlight an area’s history, bring awareness to its future potential, and then promote sustainable growth.

Each year a focus area or issue is established, community input is gathered, and multiple studies and efforts are performed. The Collaborative concludes each year with a public event and a publication that summarizes the research, designs, concepts, and efforts performed that year. This discourse, in turn, begins to shape public policy and private development strategies. The Collaborative is the vehicle for our community to envision the possibilities of our region and shape our collective aspirations for the future.

Community Collaborative study areas so far: 2018/2019 - Burlington neighborhood 2020 - Sutherland Avenue Corridor 2021/2022 - Martin Luther King, Jr. Avenue Corridor 2023/2024 - North Broadway Corridor (North Knoxville)
