Heather Jauregui Shares the Oversized Impact of Sustainable Design on DC Public Schools

Sustainable design is no stranger to the DC Public School system! In our second episode on sustainable design, we bring in Heather Jauregui, Director of Sustainability at design firm Perkins Eastman, to share the work her firm has been doing to rebuild, revitalize, and renovate at least 14 DC public school buildings since the district dedicated $4 billion in 2007 to make its facilities healthier, more energy efficient, and sound. Come explore the far-reaching effects of “net positive education.”
