Yestermorrow Master Planning Process Report

Dates of Process Planning: 20 November 2010- 25 June 2011

Regenesis Group: Bill Reed, Joel Glanzberg, and John Boecker

Introduction:

The following notes are intended to capture and interpret key concepts generated through working with the Yestermorrow Board, the School community, and the larger Community of Mad River Valley over the course of Regenerative Development and Design classes held at Yestermorrow and the more focused work with the Board from November2010 through June 2011.

During these classes and meetings, Board Members were introduced to the idea of regenerative development as a distinctive approach to working with the Master Plan as a means for resolving seemingly contradictory issues or forces, and for developing a process to discover new opportunities for Yestermorrow, the Mad River Valley community, and larger field of design/building.

Looking forward: ideas generated through this initial work can serve as a basis for a coherent and holistic school and stakeholder engagement process. The challenge is to articulate, discover, and arrive at common ground. The essence concepts herein are candidate ideas and will evolve as more core thinking develops in the next phase of master planning.
