Brockton 21st Century
Brockton, MA Brockton 21st Century Corp. (B21) has partnered with the Boston Architectural College (BAC) to offer an innovative economic development collaboration, the B21 STUDIO.
The collaboration will provide access to design services for property and business owners, signature design concepts for city and B21 owned and other select properties, and commercial area design studies.
It will also offer opportunities for BAC students to work closely with B21 and others in order to gain a greater understanding of community planning and economic development and to have first-hand experience with the processes and procedures involved in bringing a project to reality.
During the 2016-2017 academic year a team of BAC students conducted a comprehensive design study of the Campello Main Sts. area. The study considered the current building stock, public spaces and streetscape. The result is new concepts and ideas that will help shape the future look and feel of an important and historic neighborhood.
The students, both undergraduate and graduate, represented a variety of countries, including China, Vietnam, Dominican Republic, and Venezuela as well as various parts of the U.S.A including New York, Illinois, and Massachusetts.
“The experience that we, B21 and BAC, shared this past year made it a natural for us to want to continue and build on a great opportunity for B21, the city and the students of Boston Architectural College” said Michael Gallerani, the executive director of the B21.
