Research
ecoMOD is a research and design / build / evaluate project at the University of Virginia School of Architecture that aims to create a series of ecological, modular and affordable house prototypes. Working in partnership with the UVA School of Engineering and Applied Science, our goal is to demonstrate the environmental and economic potential of prefabrication, and to challenge the modular and manufactured housing industry in the U.S. to explore this potential. In the context of this multi-year project, an interdisciplinary group of architecture, engineering, landscape architecture, historic preservation, business, environmental science, planning and economics students are participating in the design, construction and evaluation phases of the project. Three prototypes are being developed for Piedmont Housing Alliance, and one for Habitat for Humanity.
Developed by a multi-disciplinary team of UVA faculty members and students and the first of its kind, the UVA Bay Game simulates the human impact on the Chesapeake Bay. Players take the roles of stakeholders, such as farmers, watermen, developers, and policymakers; make decisions about their livelihoods; and see the impact of these decisions on their own economic well-being, on each other, and on the health of the watershed.
At this cutting-edge, interactive event, Philippe Cousteau, grandson of legendary explorer Jacques Cousteau, will lead students, expert stakeholders, and representatives from industry, government, and the nonprofit sector through a thought-provoking journey ten years into the Bay's future.
The School of Engineering spearheads several research projects including University of Virginia Energy, Ride Forward and University of Virginia Solar Car Team.
The University of Virginia is recognized as a leading institution in humanities, social sciences, and arts scholarship. We are now committed to enhancing research in key interdisciplinary areas of science and engineering. In building these complementary strengths, we cultivate a University research culture that supports innovation and ultimately leads to discoveries that will transform society. Internal, external and private funding opportunities are available.
