Project Details
Project Overview
Students from the University of Arizona School of Architecture established a master plan to guide the development of the Ranch. In keeping with the Ranch’s intrinsic values of resourcefulness, sustainability, community and harmony with the natural environment, they envisioned each element of the master plan to fulfill the tenants of the Ranch’s mission: environmental education, nature-based therapy, agricultural foundation, and improving lives of opportunity youth and families.
Building upon existing legacy and infrastructure, the master plan is organized into eight activity areas, each serving a specific function; some areas augment existing facilities, other areas are new. The master plan proposes a phased approach for achieving its comprehensive vision of blossoming as a place of learning, wonder, discovery, and connection.
