Discover Jordan: Collaborative approaches to sustainable built environments

2017 Summer Study Tour – WSU: School of Design & Construction (CAHNRS) July 7 – 22, 2017

Collaborative Approaches to Sustainable Built Environments is a first time offered faculty-led summer study tour offering students an immersive, hands-on learning opportunity regarding pathways to primary drivers in green infrastructure development and environmental policies in Jordan. Students will gain insights to environmental challenges through field studies and excursions by traveling throughout Jordan visiting historical and UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Jordan. Students will build local partnerships with the design industry, non-government community groups, and government agencies at the cutting-edge of sustainable development. Students will tour projects that demonstrate collaborative strategies in sustainable development while working with the Jordan Green Building Council in the development of green infrastructure guidelines and governing policies.

Please join us for an information meeting Wednesday, Nov. 30, in Carpenter Hall 102 @ 4:30 p.m.
