Teri Campus of Life Update

We would like to give you an update regarding a project close to our hearts, TERI, Training, Education, and Research Institute - in San Marcos, California. TERI is dedicated to changing the way the world views and helps children and adults with special needs and autism.

We serve as Master Architects for the TERI Campus of Life project. TERI's 6th annual Cuvee delle Vite event recently raised over $240,000 toward the completion of the cutting edge facility, which will include residential homes, two schools, an adult education & vocational center, a therapeutic equestrian program, music & movement therapy, culinary arts, and much more.

A part of TERI Agriculture, The Peas n’ Carrots 4-H club established in 2006, is the first club in the United States specifically designed for children with developmental disabilities and their siblings. In addition, TERI's Agriculture Department has just received their Organic Certification. It has been 5 years in the making, but what started as a backyard garden has grown into 3 large urban farms, 10 backyard gardens, a livestock program, and the first 4-H club for children with developmental disabilities. All now certified organic!
