The NNB Special Projects are created with the help of Midtown communities, local organizations and media partners. Usually, the projects are built during a regular class semester and maintained by the NNB staff thereafter.
If you have an idea for a project, would like to participate in one, or become a partner/sponsor of NNB’s Special Projects, please contact us.
