How do the materials you use in your projects impact the planet? Is there anything you can do to make your processes more sustainable? How can you get the most out of your materials and handle waste responsibly?

Join us in the conference room this coming Saturday (5/27/23) at 11:00 am to talk about these topics and more.

We'll be hosting Jiawei Ding, a recent UM graduate with a Master's in Sustainable Architecture, as he gives an informal presentation on material sustainability. He's been spending the past few weeks at the shop learning the tools, getting a feel for how we use materials, and researching ways we can improve. After the talk, he’ll combine his research with the feedback he receives from attendees to create reference materials for members.

This event is open to anyone, no active membership required. We hope to see you there!
