Education

The Kansas City Design Center supports educational initiatives that help build public awareness of the factors that influence the character of the public realm. The KCDC also works to strengthen the educational experience of future design practitioners by engaging university faculty and students with real-world issues facing Kansas City's built environment.

Our educational programs are built around our resident urban design studio, through which faculty and students form partnerships with local client groups to develop design concepts and implementation proposals addressing major architectural, urban design and urban planning issues throughout metropolitan Kansas City.

The KCDC occasionally convenes programs to educate the general public and decision makers on the importance and value of good design, architecture, and urban planning. The KCDC also coordinates and facilitates academic studio projects by faculty from our affiliated programs.
