EPA 2015, 1ST PLACE

CAMPUS RAINWATER CHALLENGE

 MASTER PLAN CATEGORY

​

TEXAS ASLA 2016, HONOR AWARD

STUDENT DESIGN CATEGORY

​

DESIGN STUDIO V

Project Purpose: To enter the Master Plan category, EPA Rainworks competition for conceptual designs that examine how green infrastructure could be integrated into a broad area of the team’s campus. Entries in this category should be coordinated with existing campus master plans and should describe how green infrastructure could be used to enhance the long-term sustainability of the campus.

 

Competition requirements:

• Incorporate climate resiliency considerations into the stormwater management designs.

• Examine and describe the current and/or potential impacts of climate change on their college or university communities.

• Qualitatively and/or quantitatively demonstrate how the predicted performance of the team’s proposed green infrastructure project can mitigate and build resiliency to those impacts while effectively managing stormwater runoff (e.g., manage localized flooding, prepare for drought, reduce or eliminate irrigation, reduce urban heat impacts, lower energy demands)

 

Team members:  Sherry Fabricant, Jake Schwartz, Baishaki Biswas
