Healthy and Sustainable Buildings Internship
Entegra + Architectural Health (E+AH) is a design consultancy that works with architects, building owners and organizations to implement healthy and sustainability buildings. Based near Boston, our company is the product of a merger (in process) of two companies, Entegra and Architectural Health. As experts in sustainability, business, architecture and research psychology, E+AH works holistically--often through frameworks such as LEED, WELL and Fitwel--to help project teams plan for the longer-term success of their organization and community.
Internship Description:
The specific scope of this summer internship is negotiable, but could include:
- Helping us research and set up our WELL Performance Testing capabilities (researching equipment and protocols to measure health-related aspects of builidings).
- Helping with LEED, WELL and FitWel projects.
- Helping us create written and graphic content (e.g., articles, infographics, presentations) on healthy and sustainable buildings.
- Project site visits.
- Small project architectural design work.
What We are Looking For:
We are looking for collaborators who are passionate about our mission to create environments that make people healthier and who have versatile skills needed to help grow our consultancy, including:
- Effective communications skills (visual, written and interpersonal).
- Clear thinking and organizational skills.
- A desire to learn, take on responsibilities and stretch your abilities.
Why Work with Us:
Working with us could be helpful for someone who:
- Is working on a thesis project on healthy and sustainable buildings.
- Is thinking about running their own practice one day and would be interested in growing into a project management role.
- Might consider a specialist consultancy as a future career alternative to a more generalist architectural design practice.
Internship Financial Support:
Although the position is listed as "unpaid", we would like to apply for possible financial support through your school.
