Three project teams will share three complementary case studies providing examples of collaborative efforts across multiple disciplines that were instrumental in the synthesis of their facility design, construction, operation, or policy development.
The novel format of ColLABorate enhances the interaction between presenter and attendees to provide a more in-depth learning and sharing experience by distributing the synopsis of each presentation in advance.
