Sustainable Development Lab

The Sustainable Development Lab (SDLab) is a University based research & practice lab that integrates design research and entrepreneurship as a model for market based, design driven economic development that prioritizes the public good. The core of the SDLab's focus is pursued through mixed-income housing and the appropriate development of mixed-use density and entrepreneurial opportunities related to this development work. The Lab promotes research in the areas of density, housing, building science, fabrication and culture through a number of cross-disciplinary collaborations (co-Labs).
