Where is it located?

The Frontier Project is located next to Cucamonga Valley Water District headquarters at 10435 Ashford Street in Rancho Cucamonga, in Southern California.

Why does the community need this?

The community needs the Frontier Project to influence and advance current building technologies thereby improving Southern California living and working environments. The enormous growth potential of this community provides us with an opportunity to influence the millions of choices to come. The built environment has a profound impact on the resources that are vital to our quality of life: clean water, clean air, open space, a comfortable microclimate, and a healthy economy. When considered collectively, the choices we make when we build have a large effect on our environmental systems. There are no broad stroke solutions for the problem of environmental degradation. A healthy built environment requires the actions of thousands of people making millions of choices.
