Partnering Landscape and Community Enhancement
The PLaCE (Partnering Landscape and Community Enhancement) program
aims to enhance and promote the quality and character of Iowa's
landscapes and communities. The College of Design will engage with
communities in collaborative efforts to understand, envision and
promote a fundamental enhancement of their physical environment.
ISU
Extension Community and Economic Development and the Institute for
Design Research and Outreach (IDRO) invite Iowa communities and
nonprofit organizations to submit applications for project ideas that
might provide quality learning experiences for our students and
faculty. A reasonable fee--usually between $1,000 and $5,000--will be
charged to cover costs.
Past
PLaCE projects have included city and county comprehensive plans,
concept plans for city parks, historic district planning, and GIS-based
planning and modeling. Products that communities receive vary from
project to project, but typically include written reports, conceptual
drawings, and/or GIS data. Please note that detailed construction plans
are not a part of this program. View list of upcoming PLaCE projects
Deadlines
Annual application
deadlines are October 1 for projects to be completed during the
following spring and summer semesters, and March 1 for projects to be
completed during the fall.
