Since 1983, Ginny Graves, HAIA devoted her efforts to community-based education through the founding of CUBE with her husband, Dean W. Graves, FAIA. It is with a sad note to report that Ginny passed away 4 June 2025. She enjoyed a full life with family, friends and her work with building future generations of people working to improve their built environment. All of Ginny’s CUBEEs will continue to think of her often and the positive impact she had on all our lives.

The Center specializes in community-based education bringing educators, students and community partners together for positive change. The award-winning Walk Around the Block and Box City activity tools provide appropriate community outreach projects which reinforce the curriculum in relevant ways. Cube is about intentional design, making a difference in our built environment and community-building! Facilitators can adapt the curriculum for any grade level, any site and from a few hours to a full semester.
