SustainLab - VIP teamSustainLab is a VCU School of Engineering Vertically Integrated Project (VIP) team that is focused on identifying, designing, and implementing solutions to address community problems.
The initial focus is on carbon sequestration in urban settings. We will be working in collaboration with faculty and students from Arts and Biology to design and implement Green Walls at VCU and in Richmond, VA. The ultimate goal is to use our collective resources to make immediate, positive contributions to our local community. |
Approach |
SustainLab projects will use published data to identify and define contemporary problems. Multi-disciplinary approaches will be used to design solutions. Projects will balance depth and breadth by having students learn discipline-specific knowledge within their area of specialty and collaborating within a multi-disciplinary team to develop a holistic design. Projects require a multi-semester commitment from team members.
