Civil engineering students focus on designing green buildings

 Civil engineering students held a poster-showcase celebration to present their Community-Based Experiential Learning Sustainability Projects. Under the guidance of Professor Susan Nesbit, student teams worked with local community organizations to design concepts for sustainable responses to challenges and opportunities faced by these organizations. Projects include a design for an affordable, sustainable Vancouver condo building on principles of “The Blue Economy,” a proposal for a soilless microgreen growing system, and the identification of energy efficient opportunities for a new parks operations centre.
