Old Village Oral History and Miriam Brown Community Center Conceptual Design Project

The Town of Mount Pleasant seeks qualified consulting teams to document the oral history of the Old Village African American community, particularly relating to Miriam Brown and Laing Elementary School, and to translate that cultural narrative into a conceptual design for a new Miriam Brown Community Center. The effort combines historical research, community engagement, and architectural concept development, delivering both a documented heritage archive and preliminary design visuals. • Conduct interviews and gather archival materials to create a comprehensive oral‑history record. • Synthesize historical findings into thematic concepts that inform the community‑center design. • Produce conceptual design drawings, renderings, and narrative reports that integrate cultural context with functional space planning.
