Please join us for the Bud Prize, an annual juried design competition held as part of the second-year architectural studies studio. This year, the students have been asked to design a mixed-use retail and residential development on the corner of 17th and Baltimore, Kansas City, MO. The site is around the corner from the proposed UMKC Downtown Campus of the Arts.

The proposed development includes a musical instruments and accessory store (for future students of the Conservatory), a café and coffee bar, and apartments.

The jury of student work will take place  from 1 – 6 p.m. on Thursday, Dec. 11th. The awards and reception and awards ceremony will be held from 5 – 7 p.m., on Friday, Dec. 12th.  Both events are in Katz Hall, room 101.
