2012-2013. Sync OTR: GROW. Senior Capstone.
This conceptual outreach organization, “Sync OTR, ” advances the community of Over-theRhine, an impoverished and historically rich neighborhood in Cincinnati with a high percentage of lowerincome youth. Our group’s design contains three facilities that work together to better connect the neighborhood. They include a Homeless Shelter and Recreational Facility, a Restaurant and a Job Training Facility, and my focus, a Youth Center for creative development and early learning.
