Description:

Heath D’Alessio is an undergraduate student in the Art Education program, here at Concordia University. D’Alessio also volunteers at the CUCCR building (Concordia University’s Centre for Creative Reuse). Due to an expected cut in funding, the CUCCR building was under threat of closure. 

D’Alessio created their documentary, Saving CUCCR: “The Movement to Save Concordia’s University Centre for Creative Reuse,” to spread awareness and to help the CUCCR building stay open. 

Due to thoughtful and resourceful students such as Heath D’Alessio, who helped spread awareness of the issue, and the help of many other contributors, the CUCCR building is now expected to stay open. The CUCCR building is a fantastic resource for students who’d like to recycle old materials and practice sustainability within their artwork. It is open Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays from 1pm-4pm, located at 1400 De Maisonneuve Blvd. W.
