Service Learning: HS Architectural Drawing

Dear Service Learning Colleagues,

Our high school offers an architectural drawing course.  The teacher would
like to link the course material with a service oriented project.  If you
have come across successful service learning initiatives that are
inclusive of architectural drawing and non-profit partnerships, we would
greatly appreciate it.  The current idea is to partner with a non-profit
to become a potential client with specifications for a day care / training
space.  The students would draw the designs and make a formal presentation
with a panel, including the non-profit as the client, who would then
select the blue print that best meets their agency's needs.  An additional
piece would be to make a visit to the non-profit agency to see their
current space and study current blue prints.  

Additional and different suggestions are appreciated.
