Students, faculty and staff from our School of Engineering, College of Arts and Sciences, and Albert Schweitzer Institute have created a new rain garden and berm to help absorb water runoff before it reaches the Mill River and storm drains. In line with Quinnipiac's sustainability strategy, the installation will benefit wildlife and build climate resilience in our region. ⠀ ⠀ The concept of the rain garden was the idea of Michael Ciacciarella ’21, a civil engineering major and president of Quinnipiac's chapter of the American Society of Civil Engineers. ⠀ ⠀ “Last year, I designed this rain garden in an ecological engineering class,” he said. “We designed it in this spot, with hopes of actually being able to build it. It’s really cool to see something I designed in class come together in real life.” ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #EnviromentalEngineering #Sustainability #BobcatNation #Quinnipiac #QuinnipiacUniversity
