CEE Seniors Complete Extraordinary Capstone Design

Senior undergraduates in both the Civil Engineering and Environmental Engineering BS programs recently completed their projects for Capstone Design (CIV_ENV 382-1,2). The design challenge this year was to re-envision a 40+ acre site of northeast Evanston as a sustainable and inclusive ecodistrict. The interdisciplinary course saw students collaboratively pursue development of the site they named Central Green, through an assembly of 3-4 person teams focused on specific contributions such as site design, signature building design, water systems design, green infrastructure, and mobility system design. The course is taught by Prof. David Corr and assisted by Teaching Assistant and CEE PhD candidate Daniel Stockard, with contributions from many design mentors among the CEE faculty and professional community.
