1 Dina El-Mogazi, MLA Director, Sustainable Design Program Bucknell University, Lewisburg PA Emergence of a Sustainable Design Program at Bucknell University Follow-up to “SEEDing the pedagogical landscape: a design-based approach to sustainability education.”

2 2000: new course ENST 230 Introduction to Ecological Design developed to fill a gap in the Environmental Studies curriculum, focuses attention on campus

3 2006-07: Bucknell University Environmental Center (BUEC) is established and recognizes the need to both teach and model sustainability…

4 Sustainable Energy and Ecological Design (SEED) Projects Demonstration Scale Maximize Educational Value Collaborative Support faculty/student research Design intensive Intended to grow/multiply

5 SEED Projects Solar Installations: 2006 to present Native Plants Garden: 2007 to present Bucknell Arboretum: 2008 to present Sustainable Cooperative: 2009 to 2012 Green Roof: 2009 to present Wind Turbine: 2010 to present

6 Dana Engineering Green Roof: the SEED that reproduced 2009 Design and fundraising 2010 Green roof installed 2011 Green roof instrumented, second green roof installed 2012 Honors thesis completed 2013 Third green roof completed

7 2014: Sustainable Design Program emerges… President’s Sustainability Council initiated. Campaign sustainability initiative features Sustainability Studio Interest in Maker Movement surges at Bucknell BUEC becomes BCSE CGI becomes Sustainable Design Program

8 Sustainable Design Program Uses campus as living learning laboratory/design studio Emphasizes faculty/student/staff collaborations based on SEED model Draws upon diverse design disciplines and traditions to address sustainability challenges Explores broad range of design concepts, theories, principles and approaches (for instance, scale linking, upcycling, LCA, waste=food)

9 Sustainable Design Program emerging themes Landscape Designing with Native Plants Permaculture Design Rain Gardens and Constructed Wetlands Built Environment Green Buildings Sustainable Infrastructure Biophillic Design Sustainability Assessment Greenhouse Gas Inventories Waste Audits STARS Survey Sustainability Symposium 2013: Envisioning a Sustainable Campus 2014: Reimagining Prosperity 2015: Shaping Sustainability Materials Life Cycle Analysis Upcycling Waste Minimization Composting Energy Design for Climate Neutrality Integrating Renewable Energy Technologies Passive Solar Design
