The Center for Community Design & Preservation (CCDP) and all of its programs serve as the public service and outreach wing of the College of Environment and Design (CED). Because community engagement is one of only four goals in CED’s strategic plan, the CCDP staff — Director Pratt Cassity, Melissa Roberts, Jennifer Lewis, Eleonora Machado, Drane Wilkinson, and Paul Trudeau — and affiliated students are vitally important to the future of the college. The many CCDP local, regional, state, national, and international outreach projects also directly fulfill the University of Georgia’s important Land Grant and Sea Grant missions, a renewed University emphasis on international engagement, and contribute to UGA’s high national rankings. I believe that CCDP’s relocation to the Broad Street facility will provide many benefits, as the staff and students work to create a brighter future for UGA students and communities throughout Georgia and beyond. The new offices finally provide enough space for CCDP’s many functions and a street front presence to the community. Please join me in wishing everyone in the Center for Community Design & Preservation the very best. Daniel J. Nadenicek, CED DEAN
A Walk-in Design Center
Mission of the Center for Community Design & Preservation (CCDP) The mission of the Center for Community Design & Preservation (CCDP) at the College of Environment and Design (CED) is to provide service-learning experiences for students in landscape architecture, historic preservation and environmental planning. Conceptual community design services are delivered by utilizing a mix of faculty, professional staff, and students, which helps leverage professional assistance to implement projects. Students receive the practical hands-on experience that makes them more marketable as graduates. Our projects link University resources with public needs. The cornerstone for all services is community-based results. The office provides cutting edge and energetic results whether working on international, national, state, or local levels. Our highly regarded, hands-on assistance includes partnerships with state agencies — like the Department of Natural Resources and Department of Community Affairs; international NGOs — such as ICOMOS, Conservation International and the Trust for Mutual Understanding; utility companies — Georgia Power, Oglethorpe Power and Georgia Transmission Corporation; and national partners — National Park Service, National Trust for Historic Preservation and National Endowment for the Arts. Our Center helps students, citizens, elected officials, local decision makers, and University of Georgia faculty reach new levels of excellence.
