Our Team

Dale Duncan

Dale has a reputation for being the kind of project manager that isn’t finished until a project succeeds. Clients and designers alike know Dale as the responsive, go-to person who keeps the project on track. No matter what role he plays on the design team – and he can play many – his passion for good work, sustainability, and his commitment to quality turn concepts into reality.

Dale has been responsible for project management, materials selection, consultant coordination, supervision of construction-document production, and construction administration for major projects in Kansas City and surrounding communities.

Dale was an adjunct lecturer at the University of Kansas, and in 2016, he served as the President of the AIA-Kansas City chapter (over 1,000 members). He is a LEED accredited professional, registered in Kansas, Oklahoma, Washington, Connecticut, and British Columbia, and holds CSI and NCARB memberships. Dale is Chairman of the Board of the Spencer C. Duncan Make it Count Foundation, a 501(c)(3) not for profit corporation.

30 Years of Building for Regeneration

For nearly three decades, we’ve been defining and advancing the idea of “living buildings”—structures that are self-sufficient, resilient, and ecologically elegant. These lessons now shape the foundation of our teaching.

The School was born from lived experience: a deep investigation into what works, what heals, and what sustains. We teach not just what’s new—but what’s next.
