Research Collaborations

Our collaborators include a broad range of groups working to solve environmental design issues at all scales.

Internationally, this includes the World Bank and United Nations, international governments and universities, and non-governmental organizations. Nationally, we work with other universities, foundations, and federal governments and agencies. Closer to home, we partner with local community groups, design and engineering firms, builders, regional planning authorities, and local governments.

These collaborations offer a rich source of information, analysis, and design creativity to our partners while profoundly enhancing the research of our faculty and students. Our collaborations bring together world-class faculty, passionate students, and experienced professionals to develop new ideas, apply advanced research, and shape a better future for the earth and its inhabitants.
