International Sustainable Laboratory Student Design Competition

Competition Sponsor

Inspired by the success of the Laboratories for the 21st Century (Labs21®) Student Design Competition (2003–2004) I²SL is planning the International Sustainable Laboratory Student Design Competition in partnership with the Joint Institute for Caribbean Marine Studies (JICMS) and in collaboration with the Association of Collegiate Schools of Architecture (ACSA). This competition will enable architecture and engineering students from around the world to provide new and innovative thinking for the creation of energy-efficient and environmentally-sustainable laboratories.

JICMS and I²SL

JICMS and I²SL believe their combined efforts will elevate the need for energy-efficient and environmentally sustainable laboratories as an essential element to the educational, economic, and social success of nations and communities. This competition will define the students’ perspectives and advance building innovations that cannot afford to be limited by accepted industry practices. Therefore, the organizations are working together to promote this milestone competition to utilize the unfettered creativity of students to help shape the future for sustainable laboratory design and engineering.

ACSA

ACSA has access to a worldwide network of academic institutions which will ensure the broadest level of student participation. ACSA’s more than 250 member schools include representation by more than 5,000 architecture faculty. In addition, more than 500 supporting members composed of architecture firms, product associations, and individuals add to the breadth of interest and support of ACSA goals, which include the International Sustainable Laboratory Student Design Competition.
