The Plant

The Plant is a proposed research facility located on the Pacific coast, designed to study and develop advanced power systems that harness wind, wave, tidal, solar, and geothermal energies. The project aims to heal sensitive coastal environments and invest in marine habitats, expansion, and restoration. The facility includes classrooms, labs, and administration designed with LEEDS Platinum certification and will partner with up to 12 universities to offer postgraduate programs in sustainable engineering, architectural design, and water sciences.

THE PLANT VISION BOOK

The Plant aims to establish a strong center for innovation, education, and research in the area of global and regional power sources. It will unite top universities and industrial companies in a breathtaking coastal setting to address various energy research subjects.

VISION

BOOK

Campus site is self-supporting. All fresh water and sewer is produced and treated on site and does not burden the community, becoming emblematic of the sustainable progress from this site.

Program Strengths

Design programming should powerfully exploit physical location. Our proposed plan details the intrinsic natural attributes that support sustainable engineering studies creating a more powerful argument and draw.

This plan has been presented to local business, city planning, state assembly, coastal commission and state lands commission receiving enthusiastic support, specifically due to the limited and authentic program for clean energy and clean water research.

Chumash Nation

The Plant University is located on one of the most spiritually significant Chumash Indian village sites dating to 9000 B.C. The Chumash have endorsed this project and participating in the authentic planning for the site.

Due to the global importance for sustainable studies, planning approval will include supporting infrastructure of commercial mixed use, hotel, housing and retail development.
