That sense of ownership and real-world impact made the process especially meaningful.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading size-h3\" id=\"h-designing-with-lived-experience\">Designing with Lived Experience<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Through drawing, model-making and collaborative exercises, students were encouraged to think critically about the kinds of spaces they need, want and deserve. Then, they were asked to embed their own experiences in the design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"alignleft uwm-c-img--left uwm-c-img--caption-gray\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/architecture\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/695\/2026\/04\/Zion_hs-150x150.webp\" alt=\"Zion stands against a colorful mural\" class=\"wp-image-10055\" \/><figcaption>Zion<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Zion, a TRUE Skool participant, centered his ideas on inclusivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe main objective was to be able to have a space that felt inclusive,\u201d he said. \u201cHere, we all sit in a circle so we can discuss about everything\u2026 nobody\u2019s left out.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That thinking translated directly into his concept. He imagined the structure itself as circular.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"alignright uwm-c-img--right uwm-c-img--caption-gray\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/architecture\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/695\/2026\/04\/Darii_hs-150x150.webp\" alt=\"Darii stands in front of a colorful mural\" class=\"wp-image-10056\" \/><figcaption>Darii<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Darii, a TRUE Skool student who focused on a DJ room, brought practicality into the process. In addition to all the essentials, like speakers and turntables, she added something the current location in the lower level of the former Grand Avenue Mall doesn\u2019t have: windows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDown here, we don\u2019t see outside. So, I made sure my DJ room had a window.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading size-h3\" id=\"h-expanding-creative-pathways\">Expanding Creative Pathways<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A central goal of the collaboration was to expand awareness of design-related careers, particularly architecture, among young people. For some, the experience tapped into an idea that had already been brewing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve been brainstorming ways to come up with my own architecture portfolio,\u201d Zion said. \u201cIt made me think more about different opportunities and jobs I can go forth with.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For many others, the process opened up new ways of thinking about space and possibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"alignleft uwm-c-img--left uwm-c-img--caption-gray\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/architecture\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/695\/2026\/04\/Charlize_hs-150x150.webp\" alt=\"Charlize stands in front of a colorful mural\" class=\"wp-image-10057\" \/><figcaption>Charlize<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI used to think that I could never do architecture,\u201d said Charlize, another TRUE Skool student. \u201cBut as I started learning more about how buildings are structured, I thought it was pretty cool because it\u2019s done in steps, like math. Things like that stimulate my mind.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Charlize also began to see connections between architecture and her creative interests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s also like music,\u201d she explained. \u201cYou got the plain structure\u2026 but then you got the space in the middle to do what you want to do.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading size-h3\" id=\"h-from-ideas-to-impact\">From Ideas to Impact<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The process culminated in a public presentation at TRUE Skool\u2019s annual showcase, where students shared their ideas with the broader community. The importance of youth voice remained central throughout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYoung people are actually gonna be in the space,\u201d Charlize said. \u201cSo young people should have the biggest say, honestly.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Darii agreed, adding simply, \u201cWho better to design this space\u2026 than somebody who\u2019s been here?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Zion framed it as an opportunity for empowerment and impact: \u201cIt gives us more of a power to inspire other people. So, it becomes like a cycle of learning and education.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading size-h3\" id=\"h-carrying-the-vision-forward\">Carrying the Vision Forward<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, ideas developed by TRUE Skool students are being further developed by architecture firm HGA, under the direction of Lyssa Olker, design principal at HGA and a member of the CDS Industry Advisory Committee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAt HGA, we are excited to be partnering with TRUE Skool to advance equity and opportunity through thoughtful, community-centered design,\u201d said Olker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBy authentically engaging and empowering youth with education, we will invest in the next generation of creative leaders. Together, we can create inclusive spaces that amplify youth voices and foster meaningful, lasting change within the community.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The partnership between CDS and TRUE Skool reflects a growing commitment at UWM to engage communities in design. By placing young people at the center of the process, the project not only envisions a new space, but also cultivates creative curiosity for years to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For Darii, the takeaway was simpler but just as powerful: \u201cI learned that I can do anything in life\u2026 by trying.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"size-p-sm\">Story by Oliver J.
