Projects
University of Idaho Student Design Projects
For the past two years, senior architecture students at the University of Idaho
have traveled to Tacoma to work on design projects for various
districts. Design projects have ranged from neighborhood
visioning, to urban design, urban infill, and adaptive reuse projects.
Many people have asked for copies of these projects, so below are
links to electronic versions (PDF).
2006
In the fall of 2006, University of Idaho architecture students worked on design projects involving
the Lincoln District and Brewery District. Due to the size of the
document, it has been divided into several files.
