The B.lab program at the School of Architecture, Academy of Art University, was started in 2018. Through robust partnerships with neighbors, kids, and local non-profits, the program has built and delivered multiple projects throughout the San Francisco Bay Area.
At its core, B.lab is a design-build program promoting spatial justice for local communities and advocacy for future designers. Through radical listening and co-creation, we empower and hope to bring postive change to the built environment.
