Pomona School of Art and Enterprise

Scope: Outdoor Learning

Size: 30,000 SF

Completion: In Design

Project Architect: Richard Berliner, AIA, NCARB, LEED AP, ALEP

Project Manager: Rahel Zewdu, LEED AP

Working with the Pomona School for Arts and Entertainments and a Cal Fire Green Schools Grant, the Berliner team designed revitalized outdoor spaces for their two campuses. The Designs incorporate outdoor learning, lunch, gathering and rest areas surrounded by native drought-tolerant plantings. The design includes shade structures as well as mature tree planting for natural shade. These previously forgotten spaces on campus will not only provide additional usable space for the school but will provide the area with more biodiversity and additional tree canopy to help mitigate the effects of climate change.
