The non-profit group Arts Altoona received a former five and dime building to be converted into a center for the arts in down town Altoona. A rust-belt city, Altoona hopes for a renaissance through development of a cultural district which is anchored by the Arts Altoona building. Architecture students are tasked with creating a vision and design for the building to inspire the rebirth of the downtown and the inspiration for significant fundraising effort.
