This course is part of the Technology and Business of Architecture Academy
Colleges and universities are at the forefront of sustainable innovation, adopting cutting-edge strategies to reduce carbon footprints while enhancing campus infrastructure. This course explores key carbon-saving design and construction advancements, including enclosure retrofits, structural forensics, and adaptive reuse techniques.
Participants will gain insights into high-performance glass facades, next-generation energy infrastructure, and seismically tuned hybrid mass-timber structures. Through real-world case studies, this course highlights how higher education institutions lead the way in resilient, energy-efficient, and forward-thinking design.
