Thursday, November 17, 2011, 3:00pm – 4:00pm
Community Outreach and Design: Service-Learning in the Landscape Architecture Studio
Mary Beth McCubbin: Lecturer, Landscape Architecture, Clemson University School of Planning, Development, Preservation, and Landscape Architecture
Elise Herron, Clemson University Graduate student, Landscape Architecture
Susannah Horton, Clemson University Graduate student, Landscape Architecture
Mary Beth McCubbin directs the a.LINE.ments Studio, winner of the 2010 South Carolina Commission on Higher Education award for service learning. Housed in the Department of Planning and Landscape Architecture, a.LINE.ments is a multi-disciplinary program that offers students the opportunity to work on design projects in cities and towns throughout the state of South Carolina. Students have worked with communities to provide masterplans for parks, concepts for downtown streetscapes, recommendations for neighborhood revitalization, and a Safe Routes to School proposal. It has been a win, win, win endeavor—real-world experiences for students, research opportunities for faculty, and great ideas for communities.
During our presentation we will share with you both the process and products of our studio including many examples of our projects. Two graduate students will also be discussing the impact of service-learning on their learning experience.
