Upwards of 100 citizens gathered at Hillhouse High School Cafeteria gathered for public forum about the Goffe Street Armory. We shared Armory memories; responded to ideas for the Armory generated at the May 10 meeting; and discussed different methods of funding and governing the future Armory. Stay tuned for a more detailed report-back!

Created in 2014 by students in “Infrastructure: Politics and Design,” an undergarduate seminar at Yale University listed in Architecture and Political Science and taught by Elihu Rubin.
When Route 34 was built through the heart of New Haven in the late 1950s, it meant the displacement of the Oak Street neighborhood. In 2016, YSOA students Maddy Sembler, Justin Leonard, Jason Kurzweil, and Matthew Zuckerman formed an Oak Street Historical Society to create a “historical wayfinding system,” retrieving quotations from the New Haven Redevelopment Agency archives and other sources that were used in the discourse of Urban Renewal and printing them on corrugated plastic signs.
