Treating industrial water for the San Francisco airport and surrounding communities, this project is part of the plant’s more extensive treatment process. MWA performed a feasibility evaluation, provided space planning, full architectural design, and construction administration services, and led the project through the City’s multi-phased Civic Design Review process.
The building is comprised of a large laboratory, a locker room, break room, conference/training room, and office spaces. Ten-foot-tall ceilings, large windows, and light colors throughout provide an uplifting space flooded with natural light. With safety as the top priority for the lab, designers focused on providing visual transparency and separation of workspaces. Glass cabinet doors allow lab techs to see chemicals and quickly access manuals easily. Separate lab modules are designed to be open but limit contamination and tailored to specific regulatory testing.
The building envelope and systems provide increased sound and vibration isolation from aircraft takeoff and protection from the corrosive bay environment. Specialized seismic control joints allow building movement and foundation settling without impacting structural integrity or operations. In anticipation of rising sea levels, the project included a raised floor slab and designers integrated an elevated outdoor seating area accessible by ADA-compliant ramps.
