With Gould Hall set to open this summer, College of Architecture students are working to design recycling centers for the building.
During Green Week, Interior Design Interim Director Mia Kile presented prototype interior design models for Gould Hall.
“We were looking at how do we want to be responsible in that building, so they explored recycle and reuse centers,” Kile said. “Many of the students went around campus and did research on what’s being done at other buildings.”
Students researched sustainable materials to create recycling centers because of the amount of materials they use in studio classes, Kile said.
“For designers and architects, because we do make models, we use a lot of cardboard and mat board and other materials. So instead of throwing it all away, how can you reuse it if it’s still reusable?” Kile said.
College administrators are putting together a Gould Hall Green Initiative Committee to change practices on campus.
