Design LAB: Learn + Build, formerly known as Architectural Foundation of Cincinnati (AFC), is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization with programs, tours, and events for all ages.

Our mission is to create appreciation, awareness, and improvement of the built environment through education.

Design LAB is a free, in-school educational program that introduces architecture, construction and design to students in grades K-8. Design LAB has grown to reach over 2,000 kids each year and is an important way to inspire the next generation of builders.
