Hitting the Benchmark is a student-driven project about sustainable urban design that was awarded a Sustainability Projects Fund (SPF) grant from McGill University in February 2011.<\/p>\n

The project creates a pair of unique benches made of scavenged materials for McGill campus. By providing street furniture made of reclaimed waste, Hitting the Benchmark provides a platform for youth- driven design that engages the student body and community at large to interact with campus space and challenges the creative reusability of waste.<\/p>\n

Come celebrate the unveiling of the benches Friday, April 8th from 2 pm – 4pm on the Leacock Terrace (between Leacock and Morrice Hall) on McGill Campus. There will be free kombucha tea and nachos.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
