Healing the Pavement on Campus

Project Description

Recycling concrete offers a sustainable path for pavement maintenance. Massive concrete wastes are generated in the civil and environmental engineering (CEE) structural laboratory every year because of undergraduate education and scientific research demand. The existing waste concrete disposal such as “landfill” is expensive ($400/ton) and unsustainable. This project aims at wasted concrete recycling for campus infrastructure repairing, mainly focusing on the maintenance of cracked pavements, to fulfill a win-win situation for both the CEE department and Berkeley...

Student Fellows Activating Campus

Project Description

This project proposes a team of students in fellowship roles to develop and implement key priority strategies of the plans. Fellow positions include:
Environmental Justice Fellowships: identifying how the OS can improve diversity, equity and inclusion in practices and policies; Air Travel Mitigation Program Fellow: activate a pilot mitigation program currently in design that proposes assessing a fee on air tickets to build a fund for projects that reduce carbon emissions on campus and promote more sustainable alternative travel; Sustainable Science Fellows:...
