Research and Learning
Communication and collaborative research across disciplines drive results. Multiple perspectives mean we’re better equipped to respond to modern issues. That’s why we ensure our cutting-edge curriculum is supporting the next generation of talented individuals, and in turn our communities and businesses.
Campus-Wide City Building Research
The CCC encourages and supports collaborative research across disciplines that focuses on the challenges facing cities and communities.
