Sustainability Luncheon

This luncheon explores the systems, behaviors, and assumptions we’ve learned to accept—and what happens when we begin to question them.

Event sponsors – Sinclair Community College/City of Dayton / LPA/AIA Dayton/Build Your Green, LLC/WFD (Waste Free Dayton)

Communities are shaped by the conditions they come to accept as “normal.” Over time, gradual environmental degradation, inequitable access to healthy spaces, changing land-use practices, and resource consumption patterns influence the health, safety, and welfare of the public. This multidisciplinary program examines how everyday decisions related to waste management, renewable energy, environmental justice, technology, and sustainability affect the built environment and long-term community resilience. Through local case studies and expert perspectives, participants will explore the architect’s role in challenging unsustainable practices, supporting equitable development, and advancing design strategies that protect public health, environmental quality, and community well-being.

August 6 at Sinclair in the Charity Early Auditorium (Room 172), Building 12; doors open at 11:00 AM. Buffet lunch; parking passes included.
