Anton Blewett, K12 Education Designer and Planner, Associate, DLR Group / Chris Dunne, Vice President/Program + Construction Management, Harris & Associates / Mariana Lavezzo, K12 Education Designer and Planner, Associate, DLR Group / Vanessa San-Martin, Office of Child Development Director, Culver City Unified School District / Garden 3 / AIA CEU: 1. 0 LU / Primary Core Competencies: Educational Facility Pre-Design Planning / Secondary Core Competencies: Educational Visioning
For the past 25 years, districts have been working to transform outdated facilities to provide students and teachers with learning environments to support future ready learning thus empowering students to learn in different modalities simultaneously. This workshop will unveil techniques for a holistic planning process in which all stakeholders contribute meaningfully to the shaping of Master Plans and Educational Specifications. At Culver City Unified School District, this process led to the creation of fully interactive, web-based, digital master plans and Ed Specs linked to them which reflected their ethos and vision. The case study of CCUSD’s new web-based Master Plans and Ed Specs will illustrate how to create a truly living document that allows unprecedented access to easily digestible content which has historically resided in binders on a shelf in the Facilities Office.
Learning Objectives
OBJ #1 See what a web-based master plan document looks like and how it assists in promoting district goals and “brand” message.
OBJ #2 Learn about the stakeholder outreach process to develop a fully interactive, web-based district wide facilities master plan.
OBJ #3 Learn how to navigate through the content of a web-based master plan, and how the transparency can build trust within the community.

The blast, which occurred at the heart of the school, claimed the lives of two of its long-standing employees, injured many others and destroyed its two academic wings that stood as icons of the community for over 100 years. When the Design and Construction Team was hired to get the students back “home” for the 2019 school year, they knew they had to delicately navigate a fast-tracked design timeline that would not only lead to a new school, but to the healing of a deeply-wounded community.
