The UC students architecture graduate student David Mierke and three architecture
students (Tyler Gentry, Jenna Hudson, Emmy Jensen and Joe Russell) are leading a studio with the teens. Local architects and faculty from UC have also contributed to the effort and helped guide the design process.

Now, students are working in groups to design a final project, an Urban Garden Pavilion for Hughes. The teens will present their design for the urban garden from
