Architecture students present their ideas at William T. Young Library.

The Hub at William T. Young Library hosted students' presentations of sustainable architectural design in early December. The UK College of Design’s School of Architecture held a jury of student work from a Graduate Architecture Studio at the Hub on Friday, December 4. The fourteen students in the studio presented innovative, sustainable designs for a new College of Design facility.  UK Student Sustainability Council, a group focused on advancing the theory and practice of sustainability at UK, sponsored the studio.
