ARCdI provides education, technical assistance, and professional support services to stakeholders on campuses and in communities engaged in public interest design, adaptive resilience, capital planning, and innovation work, while highlighting the central role of design in place-based education, civic engagement, social justice, and community and economic development efforts. Our vision is to create a collaborative nexus between campuses and their surrounding communities built upon an inclusive and transparent process that results in mutually beneficial outcomes, including strengthened social, economic and environmental infrastructure development. ARCdI’s values and by extension our work reflects a commitment to social, economic, and environmental responsibility and justice inclusive of adherence to principles of mutuality, reciprocity, diversity, equity and inclusion, transparency, and capacity and community-building.
