As they have for the past 18 years, students from KSC’s Communicorps class recently tackled design challenges for community organizations in the Monadnock region. At a luncheon in the Mountain View Room on April 28, community members got to see the solutions. Twelve student teams (42 students) created designs for six major projects, including a master plan for the re-use of the current Keene Middle School building, a re-design of the Keene Public Library Annex (Pond Mansion and the Masonic Hall), a design for a new parking garage in downtown Keene, a master plan for Wheelock Park, and a set of design options for Southwestern Community Services (SCS) for the N.G. Gurnsey Building on Dunbar Street in Keene and a transitional housing facility for newly released inmates of Cheshire County House of Corrections.
This program allows the College to share its talent and resources in a way that makes a real and lasting impact on the local community.
