Center for Environmental Structure

The Center for Environmental Structure is an organization focused on studying how built environments—like buildings and public spaces—affect human behavior and well-being. It emphasizes designing spaces that foster positive interactions, community, and health by understanding patterns of human movement and interaction within various environments. Using research, architecture, and planning, the center seeks to create environments that enhance quality of life, promote sustainability, and support social connection. Its work combines scientific insight with design principles to improve how people experience and interact with their surroundings.
