Join us for UCLA’s Sustainable Housing and Resilient Campus Design Tour to explore a leading campus in sustainability and innovative student housing in a dense urban environment. This tour highlights strategies used to achieve LEED Gold certification while designing flexible housing like UCLA’s Olympic and Centennial Residence Halls that will also accommodate 2028 Olympic Games participants. Attendees will explore high-performance housing systems, smart grid technologies, decarbonization efforts, renewable energy integration, and ecological landscape design featuring native plants and climate-resilient biodiversity. The tour will examine campus-wide sustainability initiatives in dining, transportation and waste reduction; including Certified Green Restaurants, low-flow fixtures, drought-tolerant landscaping, composting and electric vehicle infrastructure.
With applied research, student engagement and cross-departmental collaboration, UCLA’s comprehensive approach fosters a culture where sustainability is embedded across campus operations. Attendees will gain insight into how one of the nation’s leading universities integrates resilience, flexibility, and climate action into long-term campus planning.
The tour will be led by UCLA sustainability leaders and Capital Programs green building experts, and the Mithun design team (Simone Barth, Brendan Connolly, Tim House and Nick Wai-Poi).
