UCSC Living Laboratory 

A living lab is a place where problem-based teaching, research and applied work combine to develop actionable solutions that improve the sustainability of that place. At UCSC, living labs accelerate transitions to a more sustainable campus through partnerships with students, faculty, staff and local residents to design, implement, adapt and teach new approaches to address the three pillars of sustainability: equity, economy and ecology.
