Solar Decathlon Design Challenge

“The College of Architecture & the Built Environment stands out because we’re constantly working on projects with different majors. Collaboration is key in an architectural education because that’s how it is in the real world too.” Working with partners at universities in China on a team competing in the Solar Decathlon, the Jefferson students develop a building façade that meets requirements for sustainability, innovation, versatility and design aesthetics.
