Healthy and Sustainable Building Materials Workshop- Join our Director of Sustainability Nicole Voss and our Director of Interiors Kate Spinelli and Providence Office Leader Sarah Lueck as we take a deep dive into the best healthy, sustainable and ethically sourced materials for the built environment. We will review case studies and research that explains why its so important to use materials that are good for people and planet, and provide resources to help in tracking materials from their raw ingredients to fabrication. Attendees should walk away with a solid understanding of what it means to design with these responsible materials, and next steps in how to source them for future projects.

Lunch offerings will be provided!
