SEEDS is a non-profit organization housing a two-acre urban garden and kitchen classroom in the heart of Durham. SEEDS develops the capacity of young people to respect life, the earth, and each other through growing, cooking, and sharing food. Learn more about SEEDS HERE
AIAT Leadership Forum Class of 2021 consists of eight architects, designers, and engineers that have undergone leadership training over the last year and are culminating training through a design/build project at SEEDS. The open house will reveal the chicken coop our team has been working on designing and building over the past several weeks. The addition of this coop will allow SEEDS to incorporate livestock into their experiential teaching program. We are also working on completing a few other smaller scale projects on site to help improve SEEDS visibility from the street and create a more user-friendly space on campus.
