Grant Overview
Oregon's built environment is characterized by a strong focus on sustainability, with 75% of new buildings meeting green building standards. The Sustainable Design and Architecture Program supports HBCU students in this field by offering hands-on projects and partnerships with local architects. In Oregon, the need for environmentally responsible design practices is critical, with 32% of the state's energy consumption attributed to buildings. The program fosters innovation in the built environment by supporting diverse talent. Oregon's Sustainable Design Landscape: The state's architecture industry prioritizes sustainability, with numerous firms specializing in green building design. HBCU students are underrepresented in this field, with only 1% of licensed architects hailing from these institutions. The program aims to address this gap. Target Outcomes in Oregon: The program's target outcomes include increasing the number of HBCU graduates in sustainable design and architecture fields. Oregon's industry partners report a need for diverse talent, with 60% citing a lack of representation as a major challenge. Why These Outcomes Matter: The outcomes matter because Oregon's built environment is a significant economic driver, with 15% of the workforce employed in architecture and design. By supporting HBCU students, the program promotes diversity in the state's industry. Unlike neighboring California, Oregon's program prioritizes indigenous community involvement in its design projects. Oregon's Workforce Composition: The state's workforce is highly educated, with 45% holding a bachelor's degree or higher. However, the architecture industry lacks diversity, with only 5% of professionals from underrepresented backgrounds. This program helps cultivate a diverse talent pipeline. Implementation Approach: The program's hands-on projects and partnerships with local architects provide Oregon's HBCU students with critical experience and industry connections.
