    Mixed Affordable and Market-Rate Student Housing: Akron Flats Proposal
    (Resilient Communities Project (RCP), University of Minnesota, 2015) Eide, David; Tenorio, Francisco
    This project was completed as part of a year-long partnership between the City of Rosemount and the University of Minnesota’s Resilient Communities Project (http://www.rcp.umn.edu). Since Rosemount became its home nearly 50 years ago, Dakota County Technical College (DCTC) has served primarily as a commuter college. However, as admissions continue to grow, DCTC is moving toward offering a more complete college experience and wants to explore student housing options near the campus. At the same time, the City of Rosemount expects demand for affordable housing to significantly increase in coming years. The goal of this project was to explore the potential for the two entities to collaborate on a housing development that would include both affordable and market-rate housing geared toward students. In collaboration with city project lead Eric Zweber, a planner for the City of Rosemount, a team of students in HSG 4461: Housing Development and Management designed a proposal for a housing development that would include both affordable and market-rate housing geared toward students, complete with floor plans, marketing strategies, and financial pro formas. A final report and poster from the project are available.

    Public Interest Design: North Saint Paul Living Streets Project
    (Resilient Communities Project (RCP), University of Minnesota, 2014) Boujnikh, Aicha; Seitz, Abbey; Tenorio, Francisco; Trad, Rebekah; Bauch, Leah; Werkmeister, Tara
    This project was completed as part of the 2013-2014 Resilient Communities Project (rcp.umn.edu) partnership with the City of North St. Paul. As part of a 20-year capital improvement plan, the City of North St. Paul adopted a living streets policy. The City encountered resident resistance when attempts were made to implement living streets improvements under the policy. Project lead Paul Ammerman collaborated with students in ARCH 3250: Architecture: Community-Based Projects, to develop an interactive "Carry-On Raingarden" and "Living Streets Lab: prototypes to allow users to explore and learn about potential living streets elements and their benefits. The students' final report is available.
