Classroom Redesign

Student-Led Classroom Redesign

The UA School of Design and Construction is seeking funding for a two-stage project:

Cleaning: SDC would like to hire professionals to provide 42 hours of on-site cleaning and organizing services to make Room 430, currently a chemical storage room, usable for academic and school culture purposes.

Redesign: SDC students will receive hands-on career and technical experience by working with interior design professionals to reconstruct Room 430. SDC's vision is to convert the space into a student rec and work center, offering students a common place to both study and decompress.

Please consider contributing to this investment in the career and technical futures of our students.
