The U.S. EPA RainWorks Competition

Award-Winning Submissions by the University of Maryland Students

 

As part of the graduate studio coursework supervised by Dr. Chanse (LARC748), the landscape architecture students have competed in the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's RainWorks Design Competition. Students from a variety of disciplines ranging from civil and environmental engineering, environmental science and technology, architecture, and others have collaborated with these students to develop award-winning submissions. Faculty, staff, and other collaborators served on extensive advisory boards for each project.
