The Materials & Daylighting Lab aims to engage students with exploring the potential sustainability of design in terms of alternative materials, building envelope assemblies, construction systems, and daylighting conditions through which their work will be one day be realized. It houses a diverse collection of building materials and construction assembly mock-ups.
Daylighting simulations of design projects can be explored through the overcast sky box and heliodon, donated by the Integrated Design Lab (IDL) for student use.
