Materials Health: The Architect’s Evolving Role - Catholic University of America Event Presentations

On March 24, 2014, USGBC partnered with The Center for Building Stewardship at The Catholic University of America for a half-day discussion as part of a year-long event series examining materials and health in the built environment. This event focused on the following questions: What is being asked of architects and design practitioners about materials today that hasn’t typically been considered a core competency? And how can educators better train the next generation of practitioners to address the challenges around achieving better human health outcomes? To get a better idea of the topics discussed that day, download this collection of guest speaker presentations.
