Rainier Beach Action Coalition Street Improvements Feasibility Study

Wai Health Clinic:
This dedicated health clinic, currently under construction in Sierra Leone in partnership with EWB, provides much needed public sanitation, medicine refrigeration, and critical care for women and children. This will be an essential facility for a region that currently suffers from high maternal and infant mortality.

RISE Office Improvement Project
RISE supports the mental health and well-being of King County BIPOC families who have been impacted by gun violence. RISE recently moved into a new office space. AWBS is assessing opportunities for the existing space to provide a welcoming environment for young women, children, and families, while fostering healing opportunities within small group settings.

Support of Puget Sound's Architectural Design Community
AWBS is an NCARB pre-approved Community-Based Design Center and can provide AXP credits to architectural license candidates who volunteer with AWBS. In addition to this program, AWBS recently hosted the Used Architecture Book Sale, making the purchase of books more affordable and sustainable. In the fall AWBS will host its annual design event, Carve for a Cause.
