These trends focus on creating learning environments that are both environmentally friendly and engaging for students. One of the most prominent sustainable trends in education design is the use of renewable energy sources. This includes solar panels, wind turbines, and geothermal energy.

The Sustainable Building Research Center (SBRC) is a unique facility that fosters sustainable building practices through research, education, and outreach. The SBRC’s innovative approach to sustainability involves creating a self-sustaining ecosystem within its walls. This means that the center generates its own energy, produces its own water, and manages its own waste.

The panel will feature prominent figures in the design industry, including architects, designers, and sustainability experts. These experts will share their insights on the current state of sustainability in design, highlighting key challenges and opportunities. They will also discuss the role of education in shaping a more sustainable future.
