A Legacy of Sustainability
The role of sustainability continues to evolve in the 21st century. Learn about the changing role of the Lyle Center for Regenerative Studies as it celebrates its 25th anniversary.
Located on 16 acres (6.5 ha) adjacent to the main Cal Poly Pomona University campus, the Center's academic and community initiatives are designed to bring together diverse groups of students, scholar-experts, policymakers and community members committed to a sustainable future. We believe this future is best achieved through the development of ecological, social and economic systems that regenerate, enabling communities to provide for the future as well as the present.
Open House Previews 25th Anniversary Festivities
Elected officials and university leaders, alumni and prospective students, and faculty and students gathered on Nov. 1 to observe the ways that the vision of a landscape architecture professor has been sustained and how it has evolved since the Lyle Center for Regenerative Studies opened its doors 25 years ago.
More than 100 guests attended the Lyle Center Open House to tour the grounds for the first time, to get reacquainted with former classmates, and to watch demonstrations on sustainability projects from students majoring in environmental design, engineering, agriculture and biological sciences. Notable attendees included alumni Covina Mayor Walter Allen III ('72, urban and regional planning); Covina Community Development Director Brian Lee ('84, urban and regional planning); and Cal Poly Pomona supporters Steve and Marian Dodge.
