About the Project
The College of New Jersey had a 11% increase in enrollment since 2010. As enrolment is growing, the need for more dormitories is increasing. Our dorm would not be the ordinary dorm at The College of New Jersey, it would have a green roof. The College of New Jersey has been trying to be more energy efficient by adding solar panels above parking garages and academic buildings. Therefore, adding a new dormitory hall on Green Field will allocate the need for on campus housing and will reduce energy consumption and cost.
Green Field is located on Green Lane, which neighbors The College of New Jersey. Please see map below if unsure of location!
The advisors guiding our group are Dr. Micheal Horst, P.E., Dr. Andrew Bechtel, P.E. and our industry advisor is Dr. Joseph Strafaci, P.E. Thank you all for being our mentors and furthering our education and experience with this project!
