The Haiti Shelter Initiative was undertaken by a group of Ryerson Interior Design and Architecture Students, as well as alumni and faculty. The project was developed in response to the devastation caused by the earthquake
on January 12, 2010. Our group sought to use the skills we had developed through education and experience to aid the victims of this disaster. The urgent need for shelter at the SOPUDEP School focused our efforts on developing temporary classrooms and living quarters for the displaced staff and students. It is our hope that these shelters will help the community at SOPUDEP rebuild and continue their important work.
