Help more communities shape the spaces they use.

Every community deserves a voice in the buildings that shape their daily life. Your support brings Experience-Driven Design — and the post-occupancy research that proves it works — to organizations that would otherwise be unable to access it.

Best Spaces Design Institute’s Community Impact Goals

By the end of 2028, we aim to have:

  • 50 community-serving projects registered

  • 10,000+ building users and community members impacted

  • First national dataset on human experiences in the built environment

Together, we can achieve our vision of ensuring communities have a voice in shaping the spaces they use every day.

Best Spaces Design Institute is building a network of philanthropic and corporate partners to bring community-centered design and post-occupancy evaluation to projects nationwide through in-kind or financial sponsorship.
