| Hampton University’s Department of Architecture will address community development needs throughout the City of Hampton and within the Newtown and Greater Wythe neighborhoods. Specifically, with Historically Black Colleges and Universities funds, Hampton will provide youth education and outreach by conducting an Architecture Summer Day Camp over two consecutive summers for teens on Architecture, Neighborhoods, and Community Revitalization; conduct community revitalization by working with the Newtown and Wythe neighborhoods to provide architectural design assistance to develop a Comprehensive Neighborhood/Community Revitalization Strategy for the Kecoughtan Boulevard commercial corridor; and conduct housing initiatives. Building on the community revitalization efforts of the City of Hampton Neighborhood Office, the Department of Architecture will provide mapping analysis and architectural design assistance to the Greater Wythe residential areas resulting in a variety of affordable in-fill housing prototypes.
