CEED Receives PennDOT Design Contract CEED’s Arts & Environment Initiative was awarded
a contract to design an innovative solution to stormwater runoff at the
I-79 interchange in Meadville. Both aesthetic and functional solutions
will be addressed through the project, which will serve as a national
model for handling stormwater and improving water quality on federal
highways. Construction will begin in Spring 2008. Allegheny students
will test water quality in Van Horne Creek before and after construction.
The project has been titled "In Praise of Land and Water:
Revisioning Stormwater on Federal Highways." |
