In honor of Black History Month, we'd like to shine a spot light on Carl Anthony, who, like DSH, stands to fight for the environment. Carl Anthony, born in Philadelphia, is an architect revered as a social and environmental justice leader. He founded Urban Habitat, one of the country's oldest environmental justice organizations. It's know for pushing the mainstream environmental movement to confront issues of race and class. A few of the projects Carl Anthony directed through the program are: Bay Area Justice and Sustainability Project, Transportation and Environmental Justice Project, and Parks and Open Space for All People.

Who we are

Founded in 2006, Drexel Smart House is a student-led, faculty-supported, multidisciplinary organization that promotes innovations in Philadelphia. The 3425 Race Street property serves both as a tool for student-led projects to develop these innovations and as a connection between Drexel Smart House and the surrounding community, enabling Drexel Smart House to spread its benefits beyond the University.

Our overarching purpose is to create and discover technologies that are accessible, applicable, and beneficial to urban life - particularly Philadelphia. We do this by facilitating design, research, and entrepreneurial projects run by Drexel University student members. The Drexel Smart House property on campus acts as an interactive model of how our projects can be incorporated into existing Philadelphia homes and infrastructure. Right at the gateway between Drexel University and the residential Philadelphia community, we are in the prime location to disseminate Drexel innovation throughout Philadelphia following our “Smart House, Smart Block, Smart Community” philosophy
