The Hive Project<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

BUS 478 students, Aanam Gill, Carly Engelbrecht, Nicholas Point, Whitney Point, and Jared Shury received the Peoples\u2019 Choice Award (first place) for their business design project entitled, \u201cThe Hive\u201d.<\/em> Voting was done by city staff, university personnel, and the public attending the displays held by CityStudio at City Hall.<\/p>\n

The challenge, as presented by the City, was to design a place that would attract and retain people to\u00a0the downtown area (providing a place for shoppers to rest, and, to increase business). Students observed and talked with downtown businesses, staff, shoppers, and visitors to the area; and, then created designs that displayed environmental, social, and economic responsibility; and, included biophilic, universal, and equitable access elements. The design is to be installed in the front\u00a0of Oldhand Coffee (on the street and sidewalk).<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Hive is a place that people are drawn to; like bees in a hive. We created a design mimicking\u00a0nature. The Hive is inviting and modern, yet respectful to historic downtown\u201d<\/em>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Three other designs; one voted best by the City Engineering Department; and, one selected by downtown businesses, Abbotsford are considered for installation on Montrose Avenue. The third one selected by the Business Improvement Association, Surrey\/Cloverdale will be installed in downtown Cloverdale.<\/span><\/p>\n

The posters will be displayed in the upstairs hallway of C building.<\/p>\n
