Who We Are
The 360 Team advances sustainability and equity in Austin’s public spaces and places. Examples include sidewalks, bridges, fire stations, libraries, parks, community centers, City office buildings and more.
 
What We Do
We provide education, advocacy, and project support for City public project teams. Our aim is to meet or exceed City policy including Austin’s Green Building Policy (PDF 3.4MB) and Climate Equity Plan.

 


 
How We Do It
The 360 Team looks at public assets using a 360-degree view. This employs a full circle approach from the start of the project through its eventual demolition or reuse. Performance is the longest phase of the life cycle, and reaching high performance begins in planning and design. When a project reaches the end of its life, the cycle begins again.

The 360 Process is a project management tool for City teams. This tool gives teams a pathway to set sustainability goals that meet or exceed baseline green ratings. Moreover, scope, schedule and budget outcomes improve when this process is integrated early. The 360 Process achieves high-performing assets contributing to a sustainable and equitable Austin.
