UM's Center for Urban and Community Design is hosting a "Canstruction" competition on Friday afternoon, pitting teams of students, faculty, staff and alumni against each other to design and build structures out of full cans of food. When the contest is over, all cans will be donated to needy local families before Thanksgiving. The Coral Gables Museum will exhibit some of the pieces.

Students from the School of Architecture are working the community outreach programs in Miami and in Latin America.
