# data[].attributes.body
Part of the presentation included sharing work in progress on base goals and aspirational goals on a quadrant to summarize potential goals.

Regenerative design is a process-oriented whole systems approach to design. The term "regenerative" describes processes that restore, renew or revitalize their own sources of energy and materials. Regenerative design uses whole systems thinking to create resilient and equitable systems that integrate the needs of society with the integrity of nature.
In the Mural below, you can see the process showing the process of how the 6 key themes from the 12/22 VALUES workshop was overlaid with the Living Building Challenge Performance area “petals” of Water, Energy, Beauty, Materials and Health and Happiness.https://app.mural.co/invitation/mural/firstworkspace3639/1625868318123?sender=u250fcca95c75fae115573191&key=325f047e-2791-459c-be02-fde987d573b1
Please free to make comments on post it notes and if you'd like to move goals around, please add a comment explaining why. We will discuss these with the smaller group invited to the July 15th Phasing Discussion.

Members of the committees attended virtual tours of five facilities. Before the tours they were given case study PDFs to get familiar and come prepared with questions. Right after the virtual tour, DLR Group’s team facilitated a feedback workshop to get feedback from the team while the tour was fresh in their minds. The questions to guide the session were: What big picture features did you like or dislike? What details did you like or dislike?  Are there any new ideas you came up with based on this tour?  The columns below show the case studies, tour recordings and feedback reports.

Water supplies from Yuba Water Agency also benefit wildlife. Following the rice harvest, Yuba Water Agency provides water so farmers can flood their fields again, helping to decompose rice straw, and in the process create invaluable seasonal habitat for hundreds of species of waterfowl, shorebirds, and other fish and wildlife.

Yuba Water Agency is passionate about making the most of every drop of water we touch, ensuring it benefits the fish, the farmers and ranchers, and the people of Yuba County. This infographic demonstrates many of the beneficial uses of the water in the Yuba River watershed.

This workshop began with a presentation of the Site Analysis and a walk along the river led by the team's landscape architects.  After that  the design team shared the synthesis of past workshops, space program bubble diagrams and three site design concepts showing different approaches for how buildings engage with the land and how to organize the program on the site.  All participants had the opportunity to provide their input on the ideas generated.  We had a great turn out and lots of feedback! There will be a presentation of one scheme July 9th that incorporates the feedback from the three concepts. Zoom invitations will go out 6/28.

On November 4th, several team members came together to review a Site Evaluation Matrix to give their feedback. The matrix contains criteria used to judge if a given site will support the vision and if one site is better than the other.  Each criterion has a weight so the scoring of a site will reflect what s most important to support the vision. The team worked independently giving the criteria weights, then came back together on November 17th to agree on the final weights.

The Yuba Watershed Experience Center has dual overarching Co-Equal Goals:  To be a world class learning environment and to have destination recognition to help boost economic development. Besides being an educational learning environment, the vision is for it to become a destination for recreational opportunities, and events such as leadership retreats and weddings.  This diagram will evolve as the visioning process continues.

The Visioning schedule outlines the dates for the workshops that will stretch our vision and support a co-creative process for programming and planning to set a solid foundation for innovation before the team embarks on conceptual site design. Our next workshop will be on December 8th for the virtual tour of DLR Group’s Robert B. Daugherty Education Center and Children’s Adventure Trails in Omaha Nebraska.

CASE STUDIES from Teacher's Ideas at the Wouldn't It Be Cool If Visioning Exercise

# data[].attributes.body
There were so many project references by the teachers at the Curriculum Development workshop, we decided to create a case study for each reference to show how the ideas are relevant and to inspire the design team – both for big picture master planning ideas and details for the Schematic Design of the first phase. Scroll to the right for more case studies we made for the five virtual tours of relevant projects.

# data[].attributes.body
At the Planning the Plan kick off meeting, we reviewed the visioning schedule, the 15 Year Road Map Sprint Exercise Report and the Curriculum Workshop Visioning Report. After that, we did a visioning exercise with the same prompt used at the 10/20 board meeting. The responses were organized into a road map of aspirations and a list of concerns.

# data[].attributes.body
At the 10/20 Board meeting, they spent some time doing a visioning exercise to prepare for the Yuba Watershed Experience Center Kick off meeting the next day. The prompt was: 1) In the simplest terms, what do you want this project to do for the community? What will it be?  2) What stories are you passionate about in general for this type of project? How would we tell that story?   3) Before we do a deep dive into our site analysis, are there any big picture ideas you could share with us today?

# data[].attributes.body
On August 24th, the momentum continued with a Curriculum Development update report was shared. The team consists of two consultants leading and 45 teachers with all grades represented. Many of us non-educators learned a new term - a “Solutionary Unit”.  A solutionary is able to identify inhumane and unsustainable systems, then develop solutions that are healthy and just for people, animals, and the environment. Conscious of their personal impact, solutionaries also endeavor to do the most good and least harm through the choices they make.”

On June 13th, Curriculum Development Consultants Anna Newman, M. Ed.  and Nicodemus Ford led a week-long virtual workshop to guide teachers to create innovative Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) aligned curriculum for the Center.  Dr. Marilyn Denison, DLR Group team’s educational planner, facilitated an exercise prompting teachers to think about what they would need at the site to support their vision. The abundance of ideas shows how excited the teachers are and how this is already a step in improving our education system.
