This summer outreach studio partners with the community to incubate potential professional architectural projects. Once incubated, all or part of the project gets passed to a professional office or a licensed contractor for further development and/or construction, or else is taken on by Idaho Design Build.

Students in the studio work collaboratively to provide consultation, schematic design, diagrams, and drawings that provide vision and possibilities for the community partner.

In 2020, the studio worked with a community partner on the former US Bank building. They developed a design that tranformed the former branch location into a suite of 17 serviced offices ranging from 70sf - 400 sf, meeting rooms and a shared lobby and lounge. The project was then passed on for construction by a local contractor, and is now open.
