LAEP 3120 is designated as a Community Engaged Learning (CEL) course. As such, two projects were undertaken by 3120 students who worked for Logan City, addressing future housing and mixed-use opportunities near 200 North and 600 West in Logan.
Led by Professor David Anderson, students were asked to produce concepts for housing, mixed-use, circulation, and open space configurations. The first project was undertaken with Professor Evans’ Analysis and Design 2 studio, joining LAEP Juniors, Sophomores and 1st and 2nd year graduate students in vertically-integrated teams. This project addressed housing issues where students were asked to consider housing densities up to 30 units per acre.
Students Ethan Balls, Matt Snow, and Natalie Jones build components of amodel, which will help make their designs and plans come to life for the client.
The second project focused on a ‘super block’ area between 200 North and 200 South and 600 West and 1000 West in Logan. Analysis for this area was gathered in teams and then collectively used by individuals, producing 22 unique concepts that were shared with Logan City planners.
The opportunity to work with municipalities and nonprofit groups in a CEL context provides an invaluable experience for our students, and provides meaningful visioning for the clients as well.
