Moving Beyond Green Building
Exploring the Socioeconomic Impacts of Green Building and Interdisciplinary Collaboration
Moving Beyond Green Building: Exploring the Socioeconomic Impacts of Green Building and Interdisciplinary Collaboration.
This symposium will bring together diverse stakeholders to discuss many of the unspoken benefits of green buildings, as well as how increased collaboration between these parties can lead to widespread change in buildings. Through this symposium we hope to communicate how green buildings can better serve as a driver of change for human health and productivity, behavioral change, social justice, and affordability for the middle class.
Dean Marie Lynn Miranda of the University of Michigan School of Natural Resources and Environment and Andrew Hoffman, Director of the Erb Institute will be among the speakers at the symposium.
The symposium will also feature discussion from active professionals in the green industry who will talk about the societal impacts of green building as it relates to community development, culture, affordability, and education. A panel discussion will follow the speaker presentations, allowing attendees to interact with one another in an open discussion. Networking reception to follow at Sava's (appetizers provided, cash bar).
Following the speaker series and panel discussion, we are inviting attendees and speakers to a reception at Sava's (216 S. State St Ann Arbor, MI) starting at 6:00pm to network and meet other students, community members, and professionals.
