The Center for Regenerative Studies (CRS) at Cal Poly Pomona is a residential academic program where students and faculty experience a broad range of practices and technologies dealing with waste, water, energy,food and shelter. These technologies are largely self-renewing in their basic operating making use of on-site resources, internal recycling, solar energy and biologically based processes. The Center is designed as a community where human interaction with regenerative practices is a part of the student resident`s daily life. The initial phase includes 20 students, a resident manager, a technician, faculty from a variety of disciplines and visiting scholars. Future plans include additional classroom/laboratory space and accommodations for eighty resident students. In this paper each of the five systems and technologies will be described in relation to the sustainable practices of the first group of student residents currently living at the Center. Process, scale, organizational structure and leadership are summarized as integral human components in a sustainable system.
