Undergraduate students earned second place for their PreciPITTation project in the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) ninth annual Campus RainWorks Challenge, a national competition that engages college students in the design of on-campus green infrastructure solutions to address stormwater pollution. The team of eight undergraduates includes Architecture students Maria Doku and Harisa Martinos.
