We are delighted to have the concrete pavers installed on campus! The work was led by Kenneth “KJ” Olsen, currently a master’s student in the Department of Civil, Construction, and Environmental Engineering but who started this research as an undergraduate via the supervision of Professor Suresh Advani (Department of Mechanical Engineering) and Professor Monique Head (Department of Civil, Construction, and Environmental Engineering).
Check out the UDaily article showcasing the work: https://www.udel.edu/udaily/2024/june/sustainability-concrete-pavers-plastic-waste-recycling-landscaping/. Signage is forthcoming and we’re excited to see “engineering in action” for a more sustainable future!
