    4th And Sustainable: A Balanced Design Approach For The Twin Cities Army Ammunition Plant (Arden Hills, MN)
    (2013) Johnson, Zach
    With a lack of appreciation and the underestimation of the importance and benefits a sustainable ecosystem can provide in today’s society, it has become a topic that needs to be tended to. A great way to approach the design of sustainable sites, is to follow the guidelines of The Sustainable Sites Initiative(SITES), as well as find a project that can utilize them, and raise awareness in the publics eye. With the large budget and exposure a stadium receives, it is a strong development type to pair with the guidelines for SITES. This pairing can positively regenerate both sustainable ecosystems and an understanding of the importance they can carry today.

    North Woods: Promoting Phytoremediation Design Techniques and Public Educational Opportunities for the Twin Cities Army Ammunition Plant
    (2017) Heid, Ryan
    As the human population increases and expands from growing urban environments, many pressures are imposed on the undeveloped natural wetlands. Traditional practices of land development produce high amounts of risk for the natural environment by creating large regions of impervious areas, hence devastating and destroying the hydrology, infiltration rates, and buffer zones of these specific ecosystems. The enormous amount of polluted runoff built environments produce is increasing erosion, vegetation disruption, and the introduction of toxic materials into wetlands, thus changing the water quality, the health, and hydrology of the site.
