12 Institute for Sustainable Design v Goals: v v v v v v Develop innovative and integrated programs related to issues of sustainability. Pioneer changes to design and construction via research at the Wood Materials Engineering Laboratory. Lead the development of sustainable building materials and systems. Develop design studios for experimentation with new materials and systems for sustainability. Offer workshops, symposia, and disseminate case studies. Serve as a technical resource for the students and the construction industry. 12
