CSU Monterey Bay

The conversion of Fort Ord from an amphibious warfare base to a state university was begun in 1995. As sustainability consultants we advised on recognition of this 1300-acre site’s natural features and opportunities for incorporation into the master plan.

A Cellular Lattice of Optimized Flows

The campus is seen as a holistic entity in which flows are the generator. Visual flow of the regenerated dune landscape; thermal flows in building siting & design; resource flows of construction & use; cyclic flows of resources & waste management; flow of time in requiring flexibility; diverse flows of goods & people via transportation; flow of knowledge in response to the academic vision.
