Welcome to this unique resource on the Web. Here you will find various global design projects and a rich description of them. Our goal is to make this page a central repository of all global design projects and teams around the world.
What is a Global Design Team?

- Expertise that the College or its faculty, staff and students can offer to meet those needs
- Recognition by international partners to possess the expertise required to address the needs
- Change in the quality of life as a result of intervention with expertise
