2024 Student Design Competition Announced

The Student Design Competition planning is well underway, and we are looking forward to another great year! For the 2024 competition, the students will be designing Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU’s) in the Oregon District. The competition will kick-off on January 20^th for a design charrette at the Dayton Metro Library Main Branch. If you are interested in volunteering for the charrette and/or being a design reviewer in the coming months, please reach out to the co-directors Lauren McCarroll ([email protected]) and Katie McCall ([email protected]). As students that once participated in the competition, it means so much for professionals to invest their time and expertise into a student’s project. We hope you will consider volunteering this year!
