Design Services

Since March of 2016, the North Carolina Main Street Program has partnered with UNCG’s Interior Architecture Department and its Center for Community-Engaged Design to provide design assistance to designated Main Street and Small Town Main Street communities across the state.

Undergraduate and graduate students are selected to become Main Street Fellows.  The Main Street Fellows work with UNCG Interior Architecture Department Professors to complete facade rehabilitation designs and upper story apartment conversions in designated Main Street communities.

Facade Fridays:

To showcase the amazing work being done through our partnership with UNCG and our local communities we are highlighting some of the design proposals that UNCG has produced, through our Facade Friday series.  We hope this will inspire our communities to reach out to their local property owners and help improve their downtown, one facade at a time.
