Campus as Living Lab
The Campus as a Living Lab (CLL) initiative utilizes Brooklyn College’s physical features and infrastructure as a dynamic, hands-on learning environment. This initiative translates theoretical knowledge from the classroom into practical solutions, fostering sustainability and resilience through meaningful interactions with the natural and built environment on campus.
