Detroit, Michigan

Cause Description:
The University of Detroit Mercy School of Architecture as part of a Catholic University in the Jesuit and Sisters of Mercy traditions, exists to provide an excellent, student-centered, accredited professional architectural education in an Urban context. A UDMSOA education seeks to develop architects who are sensitive designers, technically competent, exhibit the highest professional and ethical standards, are socially responsible world citizens, and are of service to the community and the profession. UDMSOA is in the process of developing a materials library for the benefit of our students and faculty. A materials library is an assemblage of manufacturers' catalogs, samples and other information. It is a teaching facility as well as a hands-on specifications laboratory focusing on products and building materials, especially those that are environmentally sensitive. The library allows students and faculty to review state-of-the-art resources, putting the latest and most exclusive materials at their fingertips. The materials library will provide students with an understanding of new sustainable materials being developed. These interactions enhance the design process, presentation, and familiarize students with innovative materials. The introduction of the materials library will develop students into sensitive designers, exhibiting the highest professional and ethical standards, creating socially responsible world citizens.
