Express Newark, located in Newark NJ, is dedicated to the collaboration between community partners and Rutgers University-Newark. Level Group was chosen to design a website that would invite and promote further collaboration between Newark and university communities while representing the organizations’ powerful mission. The design team worked closely with Express Newark leadership, program directors, and community partners to gain the insight needed to construct a website capable of mirroring the ecosystem of Express Newark: one of inclusiveness, democratic dialogue, and boundary-crossing networks, in which eleven partnerships and over eighty contributors spanning diverse disciplines, collaborate and engage in public work and creative practice. Level’s resulting design aggregates the collective work of its many partnerships and collaborations in an engaging, inviting, easy to navigate destination that truly reflects the sense of community, collaboration, and interaction that is the organization.
