Sustainability is everyone's responsibility and there's an opportunity to respond together.

Creating the urban environment requires many disciplines, and the impacts of every disciplines decisions can be seen in the environment. With so many disciplines learning separately for their respective academic careers, the skills of multidisciplinary team work are difficult to build but needed immediately upon graduation. Sustainability is a shared language in the industry through which we can collaborate.

The Built Environment Hackathon will provide an opportunity for students to participate in a multidisciplinary team to tackle a sustainability challenge, learning from each other and creating innovative responses, presented to industry. 

This Fellowship project is being led by Elaine Edmonds from the School of Architecture, Building and Environment in the Faculty of Engineering and Built Environment.
