A group of Dunwoody College’s School of Design students recently worked side-by-side with employees of HGA, an interdisciplinary architecture, design, and engineering firm in Minneapolis, during a day-long Community Action Design Workshop.
The event partnered those from The Works Museum, Driftless Region Youth Flight (DRYF), InnerCity Tennis (ICT), Friends School of Minnesota (FSMN), Disciples Ministry Church, Inc. (Pastor Paul’s Club), and CloseKnit with HGA professionals and our students to work on all phases of the design process for these organizations projects from program documents, conceptional designs, cultural research, rough order of magnitude budgets, and/or branding.
