The Resilient and Sustainable Building (RSB) is a collaborative NSF-funded research project at Virginia Tech to develop a comprehensive framework for the early design of mid-rise office building. The main goal of this project is to optimize office buildings performance in terms of economic constraints and environmental impacts.

This summer, RSB is offering four paid undergraduate research positions to help with two ongoing thrusts of the project: structural analysis under natural hazards and environmental life cycle assessment. The anticipated duration of REU is 8-weeks and the interested applicants should be US citizen or permanent resident and enrolled in a US undergraduate program related to civil engineering, construction or architecture for Fall 2019.
