The goal was to create a space where seniors could engage with university students while enjoying tailored services and amenities to meet their needs. With a top prize of $7,500 on the line, students engaged in thorough research, crafting professional proposals that delved into the economic impact, financial feasibility, and logistical viability of the proposed senior living community. Thank you to all of the teams for your participation and hard work!
