• Education Overview

  Like small cities, university and college campuses have an array of interrelated design issues that need to be considered for their built environment, often including recreational and sports facilities, residential buildings, teaching and research laboratories, libraries, and offices. 

  RWDI has studied entire campus areas, and individual buildings to assist facility planners and designers with such diverse issues as exhaust dispersion, wind and snow effects on people and buildings, energy efficiency, ventilation, and noise.
