Pre-Implementation Landfill Dumpster Waste Audit Design Studio Materials Reuse Station Design students use a large volume of materials throughout the semester for model building and drawing. Students can put clean materials on the reuse stations for other students to use. The stations also serve as deposits for batteries and sharps such as razor blades. Examples of materials include cardboard, wood, lamps, books, and glue. The stations were initiated by a graduate student, and upgraded by CED Facilities Management
