Faculty

Through UGA’s Living Lab, faculty members are empowered to apply their expertise in a given academic area to contribute to UGA’s strides in becoming a leading university in sustainability progress. By involving campus’s current needs and resources into research outside of the classroom, or as teaching tools in the classroom, faculty members can make lasting, meaningful impacts on campus and beyond. We advocate that faculty members incorporate Living Lab principles through:

• Experiential learning within coursework
• Capstone projects
• Faculty or student-involved research

Staff

Staff members are in the unique position to provide valuable insight into daily functions and challenges of UGA’s campus operations. UGA’s Living Lab seeks to connect staff members with faculty and students to work together to solve operational challenges with sustainable solutions.

In order to address these challenges, we encourage staff to submit operational needs or research questions, as well as available data or resources through this form to aid with solving challenges.
