STORIES ABOUT THE CONSTRUCTION TECHNOLOGY PROGRAM
When the idea to design and build a shed at the University of Washington Tacoma’s Giving Garden was presented to Dan Smith as part of his master’s degree program at the college, he thought it was a great idea.
Sustainable Building Science is more than green building. It’s about taking action that meets the needs of people, profit and the planet while sustaining natural resources for the future.
