New student organization to design site for Habitat for Humanity
The Rural Project, a new organization in Environmental Design, seeks to engage and empower communities in rural Colorado through design-based activism. Recently, the student-run organization took a trip to Berthoud, Colorado for a project site visit. Currently, the group is working with the Berthoud Habitat for Humanity to design a site for a future Habitat for Humanity community, which will have 9-11 homes.
Design goals include creating a sustainable community that is environmentally conscious and pays homage to the rural character of the site.
