Sustainability Mission
As a hub of innovation and creativity, the School of Industrial Design at Carleton University is committed to leading sustainable practices and addressing climate change through design. We have committed to changing the impact of our show through the design of high-quality exhibit materials reworked from existing items from within the school, and reducing the need for single-use materials as much as possible.

This commitment strengthens our efforts to reduce our environmental footprint and supports a campus that is resilient, inclusive, and forward-thinking.
