Design Institute is an interdisciplinary research center
focusing on green materials, sustainable design and
education. Located in the Manayunk section of
Philadelphia, The Institute works on a variety of
projects to:
- help companies create
new products to expand or improve their lines
- help designers and
architects create green buildings

train sectors of the industry in green building and

initiative to link PA companies to university
researchers in order to spur the green building
industry.
With a focus on education, the Institute founded the
Master's Degree in
Sustainable Design Program, a interdisciplinary post
