Through a partnership with UConn’s Institute for Municipal and Regional Policy, students in the UConn Department of Plant Science and Landscape Architecture are gaining hands-on experience while exploring how thoughtful design can help create healthier correctional environments.

The work capped months of planning and collaboration, but it also marked the start of a different kind of learning experience — one that challenged students to rethink how design shapes the places people live and work.

For landscape architecture student Eveleen Jiang ’26 (CAHNR), the project represented a rare opportunity to take a design from concept to implementation.

“Most of our projects are hypothetical,” says Jiang. “We try to design for the client in the most ideal setting. Once you’re actually in the prison, there’s a lot of regulation on what you can and can’t plant.”

UConn Waterbury graduate student Hannah Peterson is working directly with the public and academic icons to improve access to physical activity for young people. She is spending her summer contributing to research at the Lee K*m Sheung Center for Health and Happiness at Harvard University.

“This internship opportunity is the cream of the crop when it comes to looking at social wellbeing, which is a metric of health promotion that I’m really interested in,” says Peterson, a master's student in CAHNR's Department of Allied Health Sciences. “It was a really exciting opportunity to work with multiple scholars that are looking at things like social health and civic engagement and those topics that I really enjoy.”
