SUMMARY:Fulbright University Vietnam: Sustainability in New Campus Design
DESCRIPTION:Date: September 24th | Time: 5:30pm – 7:30pm | Location: 38 Sidney Street | Cambridge\, MA 02139\, Suite 180\nOverview\nCarrying forward the legacy of its namesake\, Senator J. William Fulbright\, a champion of international educational exchange\, Fulbright University Vietnam (FUV) is the country’s first independent\, non-profit institution of higher education. The landmark institution aspires to serve Vietnamese society through innovative teaching programs and impactful research aimed at supporting Vietnam’s continued development\, while addressing the grand challenges facing Vietnam and the world. The university\, representing a collaboration between the United States government and the government of Vietnam\, was officially announced in 2016 by President Obama during his visit to Ho Chi Minh City. \nReflecting its cultural and educational mandate\, FUV aims to set a precedent in sustainable and resilient planning for the next generation of Vietnamese and global leaders. We will look at a number of issues that shaped this project\, including how critical early decision-making and commitments impact opportunities for sustainable development throughout its design and construction life cycle; how FUV’s unique approach to environmental design is integrated with the cultural and contextual experience of the campus to create a forward-thinking design firmly rooted in its place; and the role of the university in acknowledging and addressing local environmental challenges while also advancing regional and global standards of sustainable development. \nRefreshments will be served during the event. \n  \n \n \nThis event is hosted and sponsored by Siena Construction Corporation. \n \nMeet Our Speakers\n  \n\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n					Steven Garcia\n					Project Director\, SHoP \n					Steven is a project director at SHoP and has played an integral role in the design\, coordination\, management\, and delivery of SHoP’s high-profile projects in Africa\, Southeast Asia\, and the United States.
