The Center for Regenerative Design (CRD) is the College of Marin’s (COM) collaborative team, envisioning a green campus and curriculum.

CRD brings to COM the knowledge of an expanding web of people and organizations within the county and region who are actively engaged in advancing sustainable measures and practices.

Regenerative design integrates living systems and built environments to create adaptive, self-renewing systems. A green campus integrates ten systems: Energy, Water, Built Environment, Material Resources and Waste Re-use, Food, Land Regeneration, Transportation, Health and Well-Being, Academics and Culture, and Community.

CRD Mission
• Serve as COM’s connection to the expanding community of organizations, local governments and businesses who are actively engaged in advancing sustainable measures and practices.

• Collaborate with COM faculty and staff to support the design of new interdisciplinary courses and programs focusing on sustainability principles and practices.

• Serve as a catalyst to make the redevelopment of COM’s campuses world class models of sustainable living and green design.

• Sponsor public lectures and round tables that share valuable visions and practical solutions to create a more sustainable campus and community.

• Introduce a comprehensive regeneration plan for COM that includes the ten systems that form a sustainable campus.
