Low Impact Development — University of Arkansas Community Design Center
UACDC advances creative development in Arkansas through design, research, and education solutions that enhance the physical environment. Originated in 1995 as an outreach center of the fay Jones School of Architecture, the center has its own downtown facilities and full-time design and planning staff who deliver professional services for communities and organizations statewide. Several staff also hold faculty appointments. While students participate in the development of some of the center's projects, when a project sponsor commissions the center they hire the professional staff. UACDC regularly collaborates with allied professionals and faculty in multiple disciplines. UACDC's signature design approach works with sponsors and agencies to define a multidisciplinary problem framework that solves for the triple bottom line, simultaneously solving for social, economic, and environmental benchmarks--sustainability.
