Sad News from Camp Newman in Santa Rosa, California. The massive wildfires plaguing Sonoma County have destroyed the camp, which is run by the Union for Reform Judaism. PGA, in conjunction with architects Siegel & Strain, worked at the property for nearly a decade reorganizing and updating program and living spaces. The result was a more integrated and effective campus which served to make the best sustainable use of the site’s natural systems and topography.
