Together, students and faculty mentors from the three universities are harnessing the talents from each school’s premier programs to create a sustainable home that produces as much energy as it uses.

About Team Capitol DC

For the first time, a city-wide Washington, D.C., collegiate team – Catholic University (CUA), George Washington University (GWU) and American University (AU) – competed as Team Capitol DC in the U.S. Department of Energy Solar Decathlon. Together, students and faculty mentors from the three universities harnessed the talents from each school’s premier programs (CUA’s School of Architecture and Planning; GWU’s School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Landscape Design Program and Interior Design Program; and AU’s School of Communication) to design, build and communicate about a sustainable home that produces as much energy as it uses.

Through harvesting natural resources, offering comforting design features, and providing an innovative biomedical atmosphere that contributes to rehabilitation of body and spirit, Harvest Home will help heal its ideal resident, a wounded American veteran.
