With every episode of If Buildings Could Talk, we uncover new ways in which the design of buildings impacts our communities. Our third episode tells the story of Renaissance West STEAM Academy, a PreK-8 school playing an integral role in an innovative neighborhood redevelopment initiative aimed at improving economic mobility and ending intergenerational poverty. We hear from the school principal, an 8th grade student and the CEO of the Renaissance West Community Initiative about how this important project is elevating educational opportunities for everyone, regardless of income.
