This group worked with the Worcester Youth Center to devise a plan for their derelict warehouse. The space is a safety burden to the Center and the youth. Through surveys and research analysis the group developed two designs to implement a recreation center that sets an example to the community by incorporating green aspects into its construction. This project has inspired the Board of Directors to create a committee dedicated to accomplish this task.
