BEAM Architecture uses a shared intake so faculty, students, and community partners can enter the same system while still describing their distinct goals, capacities, and project contexts.
Intake
Faculty should use the faculty form to describe institutional fit, advising interest, and calendar timing.
Students should use the student form to describe discipline, experience, and the type of site-based work they want to pursue.
Community partners should use the site referral form to describe the building, the need, and the kind of support required.
Review
BEAM reviews each intake in relation to current pilot work, upcoming cohorts, faculty capacity, and site fit.
The next step may be a faculty conversation, a student follow-up, a site scoping discussion, or a referral into a more formal participant onboarding flow.
Account Flow
This site handles public interest capture. Participant accounts and role-specific onboarding can then be issued through the broader BEAM stack once a person or site is being actively routed into project work.
That keeps public intake lightweight while preserving a more structured authenticated environment for active participants.
