HNRS 190 Tutorial - Sustainability and the Built Environment: Focus on Campus
Instructors: Stacey Swearingen White (Urban Planning) and Marie Alice L'Heureux (Architecture)
Description: "Sustainability" has become an organizing principle and focus for many disciplines and professions. Understanding how our built environment can be environmentally, economically and socially responsible is a key challenge of our times. This tutorial will examine the recent efforts of colleges and universities to pursue sustainability with respect to their buildings, transportation systems, dining services, waste management practices, and so on. Students will analyze sustainability initiatives on the KU campus, and will conduct final research projects related to a campus sustainability topic of their choosing.
