MenuAPEX Bleachers
This small project has allowed for APEX to increase its outdoor programming and has created a place for youth to gather in a previously underutilized space.
Project Dates
August 2014–December 2014
Small Center Engagement
The Fall 2014 Design/Build Studio worked with the youth at APEX to design a two-tiered bench and shade structure facing the basketball court as basketball is a popular activity at the center.
Partner Organization
APEX Youth Center is a community-based youth center that offers neighborhood teens and young adults mentoring, tutoring, community service opportunities, recreation, and a host of structured activities designed to prepare them to become productive citizens in New Orleans and the world.
