Open House Recap and Transition to KCDC Summer Publication

The academic year concluded with our Open House event on May 9th. We were thrilled to welcome the community to see the progress made on our KCK Housing Revitalization Vision Study and individual housing typologies projects, incorporating feedback from our final design review. For the first time, we displayed the prefabrication panels we worked on during the semester. These panels connect to the master plan and housing typologies by demonstrating building techniques that could be part of a larger, year-long project focused on revitalizing the neighborhoods around Bethany Park on Central Avenue with affordable, multigenerational, and mixed-use housing. The Open House brought closure to the semester, providing an opportunity for students, faculty, and community members to celebrate our accomplishments, share insights, and discuss future plans for the Bethany Park project, including the master plan, housing typologies projects, and prefabrication panels.

As summer approaches, we will be developing the publication for the KCK Housing Revitalization 2023 and Spring 2024 design project and prefabrication exhibit.
