Eight architecture students from Alfred State presented at the annual Appalachian Teaching Project (ATP) conference at the end of the fall semester in Washington, DC.

The seniors presented on a project they did last semester as part of Design Studio 5: Urban Design, in which they worked closely with residents and community leaders in the nearby village of Savona. The students produced a community visualization study to create a vision for the sustainability and growth of Savona, which was well received by residents and village officials and may be considered for future implementation.

Led by the Consortium of Appalachian Centers and Institutes, the ATP offers students a unique opportunity to conduct active community-based research on their campuses.
