Local Design Challenge: COMMUNITY CENTER
This year for the ACE Mentor Program, students will work to tackle a design challenge, by creating a community center project in a local neighborhood, mimicking the real-world as if they were a team of Architects, Engineers and Builders. Mentors assist the students as they work towards a final project, introducing them to the careers, industry vocabulary, and various roles companies play in the AEC industry.
Project Site: 290 Smith St. Providence, RI
Project Overview
The Community Center Design Program empowers ACE students to apply their knowledge and skills to a project that directly benefits the local community. Students will work together to design, plan, and present comprehensive solutions for a community center in Providence, addressing the neighborhoods’s unique needs and aspirations.
Who Can Join
This local design challenge is open to both first-time ACE students and those who have successfully completed the ACE program and are eager to work on a meaningful local project. Each year, we will unveil a new local project, ensuring that there are fresh opportunities for all.

This competition invites active ACE students from around the country to design, plan, and present comprehensive solutions to a complex, real world construction challenge as their final project. Each year this competition changes and teams are set up to emulate an actual design team, with students guided through the design project by their architect, engineer, construction management, landscape, and tradesperson mentors.
