The KCDC is back for another year with 11 students from 3 disciplines, 2 awesome projects, and 1 new professor. This year, we'll be working on developing a recycling system for the downtown Kansas City area as well as a project with Art in the Loop.
We kicked off the new year with a class meeting to discuss this year's projects. The first project we'll be working on is a vision study for a recycling system in downtown Kansas City. Unlike residential areas of Kansas City, currently there is no municipal system for recycling in multi-family homes and commercial buildings in the downtown core. We’ll be working to figure out what the needs for recycling are in downtown Kansas City and what we can do to make it more accessible for the people that live, work, and visit the downtown area everyday.
