The Presentation Team

COLLECTIVE ASPIRATIONS FOR THE RRC PROJECT + Regenerative - The Conservancy Center as the Model of Regenerative Design... + Reenergizing and restoring the land, the building, and the culture + Resurrect the infirmary respectfully + Maximizing the positive contributions of the site to the greater good (ecological, educational, cultural, and societal) + Harmonious – Use Nature’s Momentum to Fulfill Users’ Needs + Embrace passive design usage + Demonstrate low impact site design

COLLECTIVE ASPIRATIONS FOR THE RRC PROJECT + Integrative - Create a Center of Cross Pollination Where Diverse Groups Create and Sow the Seeds of Change + Promote open collaboration and meaningful intellectual exchange between diverse groups + Weave site and building together holistically to support multiple uses: Science, art, ecology + Make the RRC environment a living eco lab + Inclusive - Universally appealing, culturally inclusive design where everyone will feel welcome and valued Get the dream you want within the budget you have.

Regenerative R E E N E R G I Z I N G A N D R E S T O R I N G THE BUILDING, THE LAND, THE CULTURE + The Building - Rising from the ashes like a phoenix, the 1930s era infirmary will be reborn as a new hub of sustainable research and discovery. + The Land - Native vegetation restored to reflect the site’s natural character + The Culture – Indigenous influence reflected in designated indigenous studies area which will offer valuable lessons to be learned

R E E N E R G I Z E THE BUILDING AND LAND + Restoration approach + Maintain appearance + New construction approach + Materials that can be used for dual purposes

Harmonious H A R N E S S I N G T H E P O W E R O F N AT U R E : PASSIVE AND LOW TECH DESIGN + Strategies for minimizing the building’s external load (daylighting, thermal mass and natural ventilation) + PV renewable energy + Skylight wells as thermal chimneys + Punched windows with spectrally selective glazing + Slow moving large blade ceiling fans

Elements of Passive Solar Design + Textbook greenfield design ideal

Passive Solar Design Ideal : Det ail

Passive Design Oppor tunities + These elements are already present in our building

PV Solar System Low Energy HVAC Active Systems + Minimal electricity driven equipment + Zero carbon energy flow + Enhanced thermal comfort

Inclusive M A K I N G E V E R Y O N E F E E L W E L C O M E : UN IV ER SA LLY A P P EA LIN G, C ULT UR A LLY IN C LUSIV E DESIGN + Biophilic Design + Simplicity in Design + Connecting with specifics of place (history, culture, geology, etc.) + Natural light to evoke positive emotion + Connection to Nature + Natural materials, shapes and colors

C R E AT I N G I N T E R D I S C I P L I N A R Y S PA C E S : SUPPORTING INNOVATIVE COLLABORATIONS + Variety of Open, Interconnected Spaces + Flexible, Interactive, Mobile and Adaptable + Flexibility Will Allow for Growth and Change for a Forward Thinking Institution

C R E AT I N G I N S P I R I N G S PA C E S : EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING + An indoor/outdoor environment that fosters exploration + Change in physical environment encourages creativity + Outdoor learning spaces provide organic and seasonal stimuli

B L U R R I N G B O U N D A R I E S : INTEGRATION OF NATURE AND THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT + Outdoor classrooms + Outdoor labs + Courtyards + Sunroom/Maker’s Space

SENSITIVELY DESIGNED PATH Connection to Main Campus and Greater Community + Close proximity to Pitzer main campus, the Claremont Colleges, and the Bernard Field Station + Close proximity to broader community

PREFERRED VEHICULAR ACCESS, INCLUDING FIRE AND ADA Vehicular Access + Vehicular access (including ADA and emergency vehicles) could be achieved in a few different ways + Alternative 1 shown in the light blue dashed line at Blaisdell/Lowell is preferred

Local, Regional, and Global Influence + We see the RRC influence extending beyond the physical site
