Healthy Neighborhoods, Healthy Kids
This program is an ongoing collaboration of Vermont Forum on Sprawl, the Burlington Sustainable Schools Project (SSP) with Champlain and Barnes Schools, and the Vermont Design Institute. VDI developed a design program on exploring the relationship between our built and natural environments for the Barnes Elementary School.
 
VDI’s participation was funded by The Accent of Architecture Grants Program supported by the American Architectural Foundation, CNA Insurance Companies and Vitor O. Shinnerer & Company.
