Interior Design faculty member Genell Ebbini visited Jordan this summer with six students from the WSU School of Design and Construction.
The trip was part of Ebbini’s summer course, offering her students a hands-on, immersive look at Jordan’s green infrastructure development and environmental policies.
SDC students are building local partnerships with the design industry, non-government community groups and government agencies at the cutting-edge of sustainable development. Experts from leading institutions such as the Ministries of Environment, Public Health and Housing, and Water and Irrigation are engaging with students in the study of regional issues that impact natural resources, availability, ecology, and socio-economic inequality in the built environment.
Students toured projects that demonstrated collaborative strategies in sustainable development while working with the Jordan Green Building Council in the development of green infrastructure guidelines and governing policies.
