Mission Statement
Center for Community Design, Planning and Preservation at the College of
Environment and Design at the University of Georgia

The mission of the Center for Community Design, Planning and Preservation (CCDPP) at the College of Environment and Design (CED) is to provide service learning experience for students in landscape architecture and historic preservation. By utilizing a mix of professional and student staff members, towns throughout the South have the opportunity to obtain professional design services. These communities are provided high quality design services they could not otherwise afford and students receive practical hands on experience, a situation that benefits everyone involved. The CCDPP office contracts with governmental agencies, non-profit organizations, civic groups and other funding sources to carry out projects, conduct research, provide training and deliver administrative services. The CCDPP office at CED produces community-based results to meet the goals of students, citizens, elected officials, local decision makers, and UGA faculty.
