In the Sustainable Design program, students learn to design in ways that meet the needs of the present without compromising those of the future. Through the study of ecological and sustainable building systems and sustainable community development, students develop the technical expertise, leadership skills, and resolve for the vital work of transforming how we create and occupy our buildings and communities.
