"Through architecture, Auburn University's students and professors have vastly improved the communities and lives of people in one of the country's poorest regions. This is a concept that can be applied in our city," - Mayor Stephen R. Reed   "One of the primary purposes of the studio is to enable each student to step across a threshold of misconceived opinions and to design/build with a moral sense of service to a community." - Samuel Mockbee Founder of Auburn University's Rural Studio

Mission Statement: The mission of the Harrisburg Urban Studio is to improve the quality of the urban built environment of Harrisburg and meet the economic and social development needs of its citizens through research, education, community-service, and innovative and sustainable design using a multi-disciplinary approach. The Urban Studio seeks to integrate design education and practice by partnerships between colleges and universities in Pennsylvania and the Greater Harrisburg community, emphasizing both learning and community-service, applying theory to real projects, and training citizen planners, architects, and landscape architects.
