Lead on Master planning team to oversee project including a one-year consultation to PS21 board of directors and advisors in developing program requirements and 50-year projections. The 100-acre site offers unique opportunities for integrating a state-of-the art 400 seat performance facility, separate workshop dormitories & individual practice studios with historic buildings and rural character of the land. The overall goal was to enhance and improve the site ecology, reduce dependence on local resources, and create an inspiring atmosphere for artist workshops, full symphony performances, and community recreation opportunities. The board's commitment to conservation encouraged integration of building, storm, and vehicular systems, leading to various groundwater recharge and wetland mitigation strategies. The project is currently undergoing a $15 million capital campaign drive and will open a temporary facility in 2006.
