Design Competitions for

Community College Architecture Program Students


Why a CCCAP Student Design Competition?

Enrollment in architectural design competitions for college students have been restricted to only 3rd year students at accredited schools of architecture. Community college architecture students had no opportunities to participate in nation-wide or similar contests. 


Designing is one aspect of an architectural education but it encompasses an integration of the many other aspects including site analysis, plan programming, structural detail, sustainability, CAD skills, and rendering. Entering a competition includes the important aspect of students working as a team within a limited time frame.

Refugee + Immigrant Center

Because of the increasing number of refugees and immigrants coming into the United States, including into the Atlanta, Georgia area, the CCCAP proposes a Refugee & Immigrant Center (RIC) for this year’s Student Design Competition. The RIC will help new immigrants integrate into American culture and society.

The center will provide a welcoming place for new refugees and immigrants and will provide some essential services for individuals and families. The RIC will empower immigrants and refugees to thrive in their new communities and pursue a just future.
