The Project

The Civic Design Center is partnering with Inclusion Tennessee to create an initial design for an LGBTQIA+ Community Center in Middle Tennessee. Inclusion Tennessee’s mission is “to connect people, opportunities, and resources to enrich and enhance the multi-faceted lgbtqia+ community.” Building off of Inclusion Tennessee's one-year study of LGBTQIA+ community needs, the Civic Design Center engaged with over 600 community members at Nashville PRIDE on June 25 + 26 to generate conversation and gather feedback on where resources should be prioritized and what features the future community center should have.

This event is part of the community engagement process which will then be used to create the conceptual designs.
