The John T. Lyle Center for Regenerative Studies, casually called CRS, is a small residential, classroom, laboratory, and dining facility at the California State Polytechnic University, Pomona . It was conceptualized in the late 1970s by John T. Lyle , professor of landscape architecture from the university's College of Environmental Design. In 1992 the facility was built, and by 1994 the center housed 20 students for the first time. The Center was designed by a local architecture and landscape firm, the Claremont Environmental Design Group (CEDG). The center onducts numerous sustainable and agricultural practices, including photovoltaic cells, solar hot water cells, student community gardens, wind turbines, permaculture practices. Rooms are designed to moderate temperature and humidity with passive techniques, rather than unnecessary air conditioning. The buildings are primarily made of concrete and cedar wood panels. The Center is currently managed by department chair Kyle Brown and Juan Araya.
