Campus Master Plan Update
For a detailed Master Plan Update please check out the Master Planning Tab in the upper right corner.
Our four community Master Planning meetings have been successfully accomplished! The process was truly inspiring. Ideas were heard and incorporated into a final Master Plan that was presented on Tuesday night (3/2). At the end of the presentation Robin Schiller, of CCY Architects, invited questions and feedback. In response, there was a hushed silence - not a word of dissent or concern. Instead, the audience applauded CCY Architects and the Campus Planning Committee for an outstanding approach and a Master Plan that is truly reflective of this community's essence. It was a powerful and validating conclusion to this chapter of work on improving our Woody Creek campus.
There's more to come! These are our next steps:
March 18th - CCY will present the Master Plan to the COMPASS Board for approval
March 19th - COMPASS will submit the first draft of the BEST grant for CDE review
April 9th - Final deadline for BEST grant submission
June 30th - We will know if our BEST grant is a finalist under consideration
End of August - BEST grants awarded
Fundraising is underway now, as we estimate needing to raise a $4million match to that BEST grant. Those funds have to be raised by November - ambitious? Yes! Possible? We believe it is, but it will take a village! If you know any bazillionaires, now would be a great time to introduce them to this exceptional place.
Onward and upward! Regular updates will continue. Your interest and involvement is greatly appreciated.
