All green building takes a commitment from the building owner, the architect, and all those involved in the development and programming for the design. The team members become stewards of the environment providing leadership in evaluating the value of incorporating existing buildings in green strategies and the benefits to clients, occupants, and communities.
At Scripps College, masterplanning and feasibility studies enable the leadership to maintain consistency in decision-making by establishing clear goals and objectives. In feasibility studies for new dormitory building structures within their historic campus, Drisko Studio explored options for repeating the design elements characteristic of the Spanish Colonial Mediterranean style in infill buildings nestled in the spaces between existing historic dormitories. These studies increase opportunities for capital investment by synthesizing multi-disciplinary work into manageable projects which promotes clarity in communication and provides a foundation on which to document decisions and develop a vision for long term stewardship.
