Students from Ball State’s Estopinal College of Architecture and Planning worked on the Maring-Hunt Library Community Garden, building a pavilion, outdoor kitchen, play pockets, and a learning wall as part of their immersive learning experience during the Fall 2017 semester.

Our programs are embedded and deeply invested in our neighbors, conducting a range of meaningful outreach and research throughout Indiana and beyond. Our belief in hands-on, problem-focused learning guides these citizen participation and neighborhood revitalization efforts.

Want to partner with us? We offer low- to no-cost assistance for businesses, nonprofits, neighborhoods, and communities with qualifying research and community-engagement projects. Let’s discuss the possibilities.
