The Intergenerational Confluence: A Discovery-Phase Overview

August 27, 2026•1 min read

RIVIC is working to turn a closed school into a single campus where elder living, education, early childhood, and community life share one address — deliberately.

This overview lays out why we think four separate problems are really one, what the campus would hold, where things stand today, and how you might help. We are in the discovery phase and we say so plainly throughout. Nothing here is fixed.
