Professor and Director of Community and Regional Planning Zhenghong Tang was awarded a grant by the US Environmental Protection Agency for a research project titled “Develop a near real-time tool from Sentinel satellites for playa wetland conservation and flood mitigation.” The project period starts in 2022 and will end in 2024. The total project cost is $160,000.
Professor Mark Hinchman completed his newly revised edition of The Fairchild Books Dictionary of Interior Design that was recently published.
Associate Professor and Director of Interior Design Lindsey Bahe served on the IDEC 2022 Teaching Excellence Selection Review Committee and the IDEC 2022 Student Competition Review Committee.
The first Sand Creek Post & Beam Design and Fabrication grant awards from the College of Architecture were awarded this semester to Professor Jeffrey L. Day and Associate Professor Jason Griffiths.
Griffiths’s project “Curve Continuity” proposes to take the curved Cross Laminated Timber panels created from the Plain design studio, currently on display at Omaha by Design (XX-LAM,) and have them adapted and modified for a permanent structure. The aim of this structure is to demonstrate the possibilities of vac-formed, curved timber composites that feature Nebraskan timber sources.
Day’s proposal “Solar Mass Timber Bus Shelters & Bike Sheds for the UNL Campus” aims to develop new prototypes for bus shelters and bike sheds on campus as part of the FACT 2022 spring studio. The goal is to develop a climate positive approach using mass timber’s potential as a carbon sink combined with the ability of an integrated, active solar array to generate more power than is required for the structures to operate.
