Higher Education Grants
Architecture is a complex discipline that extends beyond building design and construction, with careful consideration given to the context of the surrounding landscape, the people who will occupy the building, large-scale environmental issues such as climate change and sustainability. Through fellowships, grants, and other initiatives, the BBB Foundation engages the full cycle of design, which includes inspiring and supporting young people to enter the profession. Current grant programs include:
