The Center for Creative Impact is located at 1200 W. Mount Royal Avenue and serves as a gateway to 澳门金沙投注_任你博-官网’s design innovation hub. It anchors both the Dolphin Design Center and Station Building, which are homes to our product, architectural, social, and bio-design programs.
Interdisciplinary: We bring together faculty and students from art and design to collaborate with external partners in the public, private, and social sectors.
Creative: We promote innovative problem-solving by applying art- and design-driven processes to critical social and environmental challenges.
Impact-driven: We prioritize social benefit as a core value in our work, focusing on the needs of individuals and society throughout our creative process.
Funded: We receive financial support from public, private, and philanthropic partners at local, state, and federal levels.
The Center provides faculty access to the institutional resources, incentives, and support necessary to integrate hands-on, experiential learning experiences into their curricula, and creates opportunities for faculty and students to participate in interdisciplinary, impact-driven, and funded research and professional practice.
