This week, visit us for the final opportunity to view the "Circular Design-Build Student Showcase"! Created in partnership with UTA and with support from the EPA, this exhibition highlights innovative work by UTA CAPPA students and high school participants exploring circular economy principles through installations built from reclaimed and upcycled materials. The showcase offers a compelling look at how thoughtful, low-impact design can help shape a more sustainable future for Dallas.
