The technology is here to build homes that generate as much energy as they use, but the construction industry is slow to change. Aaron Smith ’16 says that viewing sustainable building as the future of craftsmanship can help speed adoption of new techniques.

Our mission is to educate leaders for business & society. The drive to build successful organizations that make a difference inspires our curriculum, our approach to research, and our community.

We seek students who care deeply about the problems afflicting our world.

We equip them with the knowledge, the resources, and the networks to pursue positive and ambitious change.
