Join the VWEA | VA AWWA Eastern Young Professionals Committee for a presentation with lunch and a tour of the Ryan Resilience Lab. The Pru & Louis Ryan Resilience Lab of the Elizabeth River Project will serve as a global model for urban coastal living that protects both the ecosystem and humans as sea levels rise. Now being built along Knitting Mill Creek on one of Norfolk’s fastest-growing commercial corridors, this $8 million living laboratory is planned for completion in October 2023.
The Ryan Resilience Lab is envisioned to be a multi-purpose learning lab that incorporates advanced sustainable/resilient design technologies and techniques resilient to sea level rise. The building will be approximately 5,500 square feet of office space, meeting space, and educational space, with a vegetated roof system. The building will feature an exploratory demonstration area with information screens, a demonstration rain garden, and rain barrel cisterns.
Space is limited to 20 registrants.
Cost: $10/Member | $20/Non-member includes lunch
