My project was created in order to start the discussion of sustainability within the University of Washington Health Sciences. For my project a team of three looked to establish a baseline of sustainability within the University of Washington Health Sciences. In order to accomplish these goals we needed to find pitfalls and successes within the University Health Sciences. Our goals were to start a project where in which more teams could pick up where we left off and ultimately make UW Health Sciences sustainable. I found several solutions to noise pollution and Recommended the university adapt these changes.
