UniverCity Year - Egg Harbor
UniverCity partnered with the village of Egg Harbor from 2019-22. This partnership focused on improving the village’s infrastructure for the 200 year-round residents and 2,500 seasonal residents. By focusing on improving infrastructure, these projects include working for more affordable housing, energy solutions and road and parking design.
Outcomes
The partnership between UCY and Egg Harbor yielded seven projects with 38 students, three project leads, and four instructors. -Affordable housing designs were a focus of two projects, with four designs developed to address seasonal or long-term resident housing needs as well as identifying three sites for affordable single-family housing options near the local attractions. -Three design alternatives for a new Egg Harbor wastewater treatment plant were developed from an alternative energy report focused on providing comprehensive analysis of energy savings, and geotechnical, structural, hydraulic, and construction engineering implications.
