Contact
Use the BEAM intake to begin the right conversation. The program is designed to coordinate across academic, community, and implementation contexts rather than treat them as separate silos.

The strongest inquiries include enough context to identify whether the next step is academic, site-based, or participant-oriented.
If you have a building or redevelopment need, describe the place. If you are a faculty or student contact, describe the institutional and disciplinary context.
Response
Responses are organized around fit, capacity, and immediate relevance to active or upcoming cohort work.
That means the first reply may clarify scope, ask for supporting material, or redirect you toward the appropriate participation path.
Shared Intake
All public contact currently routes through the same structured intake so BEAM can sort faculty conversations, student applications, and site referrals into the correct next step.
Intake
For advisors, project sponsors, and course partners exploring how BEAM can connect teaching, research, and site work.
Intake
For architecture and allied-discipline students who want practical experience through real community projects.
