Beyond Sustainability—Creating Regenerative Schools
This workshop will examine how schools can create campuses that look beyond sustainability towards schools that are resilient and regenerative in the face of complex and rapidly changing ecological, social and economic conditions. How can schools become integral in the regeneration of our environment and communities? Through the creation of leaders, knowledge and best practice, the building of soils, restoration of critical habitat and wetlands and production of energy, independent schools have a tremendous opportunity, and responsibility, to contribute to restoring equilibrium to out-of- balance ecological, economic and social systems. Bringing the parts together to make the whole is a key concept in developing strategies for sustainable schools of the future. In this workshop we build a bridge between the facilities on our campuses and the curriculum and educational mission and philosophy at our schools.

Design for Climate Change
Comprehensive responses to climate change require the development of resilient biological and built systems that are adaptive in the face of shifting of climatic influences. While most discussion today focuses on reducing the rate of Earth's climatic change, little attention is being given to the design and development of buildings and landscapes that can support human livelihood across wide climatic variations. This course highlights strategies for creating integrated building and landscape systems that can function in an age of climate extremes; longer droughts, hotter summers, colder winters, higher winds, increased pests, heavier precipitation events, and other patterns that will test our ability to thrive in a place. Major topics covered include microclimate design, water systems, food systems and architectural strategies. This course taught in collaboration with Buzz Ferver.
