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.

THE BUILDING, THE LAND, THE CULTURE

Regenerative

+ 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

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

Harmonious

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

Active Systems

Low Energy HVAC

+ Minimal electricity driven equipment + Zero carbon energy flow + Enhanced thermal comfort

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

Inclusive

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

Site Plan

+ A home for the Conservancy to cultivate connections to the campus, region and global community

ECOLOGICAL LITERACY

+ Learning Landscapes – Tactile and Immersive + Plant Collecting + Native Habitat and Fauna

Entr y

+ Site sensitive + Native Coast Live Oaks + Potential Conservancy gathering area

Outdoor Maker Space

+ Outdoor spaces + Providing different environments for exploring ideas, learning and creativity

Site Birdseye

+ Integrated within the land + Outdoor classrooms added in the disturbed site areas + Creating connections between spaces

Site Sust ainability

+ Sustainability infused as part of the design + A Home for the Conservancy

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

SENSITIVELY DESIGNED PATH

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

PREFERRED VEHICULAR ACCESS, INCLUDING FIRE AND ADA

Local, Regional, and Global Influence

+ We see the RRC influence extending beyond the physical site

8 REASONS WHY WE ARE THE BEST TEAM

WE ARE

FULLY IMMERSED IN THE

CONSERVANCY’S VISION AND NEEDS WE HAVE ESTABLISHED

STRONG RELATIONSHIPS WITH THE COLLEGE AND BFS USERS

WE HAVE DESIGN

MOMENTUM WHICH ALLOWS PITZER TO COMPLETE THE RRC FASTER

WE OFFER

DEEP COMMITMENT

TO THE PROJECT, INVESTING OUR HEART + SOUL INTO PHASE 1

1 2 3 4

WE WILL FURTHER ENGAGE WITH

LOCAL TRIBAL LEADERS

TO REINTRODUCE THEIR CULTURAL VALUES AND KNOWLEDGE INTO THE SITE WE CAN GROW OUR REGIONAL

SUSTAINABILITY IDEAS MORE COMPLETELY

IN THE ALLOTTED TIMEFRAME WE HAVE SHOWN HOW OUR

COLLABORATIVE SPIRIT

CAN CREATE A MORE HOLISTIC SOLUTION TO DELIVER ON THE RRC’S COMPELLING VISION ON A PERSONAL LEVEL

WE ARE PASSIONATE
