Program Manager Meg Hartwig blazed the trails of student virtual design with architects from AIA Seattle’s Diversity Round Table. Each student worked diligently for 8 weeks to conduct virtual site visits, learn the fundamentals of architecture, learn about the community and venerable history of Seattle’s International District.

Students hailed, themselves, from the area, being part of WILD – the Wilderness Inner-city Leadership Development program at InterimCDA.

All students receive stipends and wraparound service support, along with all of the creativity and collaboration we can muster over Zoom.

In the summer of 2021, an enthusiastic group picked up where the remote design left off and brought this building to life on site at Danny Woo Community Garden.
