The concept of the CUDC extends beyond its resident academic and service activities to embrace a wide range of interactions with communities and institutions in the region. In particular, the CUDC pools its expertise with the region’s other universities, and collaborates regularly with non-profit organizations that work for environmental and design quality in the region.
