A brief description of the innovative policy, practice, program, or outcome:

While most universities have a Campus Master Plan, very few have a Landscape Master Plan. Fewer have a Cistern Master Plan. Georgia Tech goes beyond a traditional Campus Master Plan in developing holistic tools that fully integrate the ecological and human landscape into a performance landscape that transforms the campus culture and expands the academic and research opportunities across the university. The development of the Eco-Commons is a place where Ecology and Technology join to create a sustainable collegiate setting in a modern metropolis, enhancing the holistic integration of the campus framework while expanding the university’s mission.
