NEW ALBANY DESIGN GUIDELINES TECHNICAL TRAINING

New Albany, Ohio

WHY

The best community design guidelines are often the most accessible and usable. Municipalities work hard to shape their built environments by writing and implementing thoughtful design standards. Unfortunately, printed guideline documents tend to end up on shelves, collecting dust. The City of New Albany realized this, and invested in video design guideline training to create more interesting and engaging content and save money on training over time.

HOW

The New Albany Design Guideline videos were carefully curated and edited to assist design professionals, developers, and citizens in understanding New Albany’s architectural and design requirements. The videos are use-on-demand and have lessened reliance on in-person training sessions. Members of architectural review boards and commissions have the ability to train themselves anytime, anywhere with easily shareable lessons. The greater citizenry can also learn about their community’s character, special story, and how they can contribute.

WHAT

Designing Local delivered the Design Guideline Video Training Series web portal to The City of New Albany, Ohio. The portal and training documents can be viewed here.
