Because healing is power. And healthcare is legacy work.

Design the City. Develop the Legacy.

The Urban Futures Lab is HBCU West’s planning and development track, created to introduce students to the worlds of urban planning, architecture, policy, and real estate development.

• GIS mapping, design software, and 3D modeling tools
   
• Mentorship from architects, planners, city officials, and developers
   
• Tours of planning departments, construction sites, and redevelopment projects

More than just a career track, this lab gives students the power to influence what gets built, where it gets built, and who benefits.

We don’t just teach planning—we develop power.

The Culture Lab is HBCU West’s creative innovation track—designed for students with a passion for film, fashion, and cultural storytelling.

This isn’t just art—it’s economic power in motion.

Where Code Meets Culture, and Power Becomes Programmable

The AI Innovation Lab is HBCU West’s tech and strategy track—training students to lead at the intersection of artificial intelligence, entrepreneurship, and cultural intelligence. This lab is the heartbeat of our PLAI philosophy (The Blueprint for AI, Wealth & Culture), equipping underrepresented youth with the tools to not only use AI—but to shape its future.

Students will gain hands-on experience in:

• Machine learning, automation, and prompt engineering
   
• AI ethics, bias, and inclusive tech design
   
• Startup development using AI tools for business, fashion, media, and finance

This lab prepares the next generation of innovators to do more than participate—they’re trained to own equity, build platforms, and influence how AI is deployed globally.

Because AI isn’t just about algorithms—it’s about who’s in control.
