Warrior Coffee Project
'Some students drink coffee to motivate themselves to learn. At Lycoming, coffee *is* learning.' -- Caroline Payne, Associate Professor
Fenestration
The word "fenestration" comes from the Latin word "fenestra," which means "window" but in the modern era of architecture in building design, its use has evolved to mean any openings in a building's envelope -- i.e. windows and doors. Building codes and regulations in many countries now require specific fenestration standards to ensure buildings are energy-efficient and provide safe entry and egress.
Quadrivium: Summer
Educational settlements should be magical places. The stack informing the beauty of these "cities-within-cities" changes 100 to 1000 times per day globally. We monitor the action continuously to formulate response to public consultations. Topics appear on our CALENDAR and explored every day at 15:00 UTC. Recommend refresh of this web page once or twice to see timeliest information.
Doors & Windows
Which came first: the building or the door? Direct link to Section 1010. Oddly (perhaps) the International Building Code does not define what a "door" is.
Current Issues & Recent Research
We are tooling up for the NFPA 2029 National Electrical Code Technical Committee Meetings in September and the IEEE Industrial Applications Society Meetings in October.
Zoning
Today we examine standards catalogs relevant to the planning, construction and management of the built environment of education communities nested within human settlements characterized by a high population density, extensive infrastructure, and various economic, social, and cultural activity.
