The new office building for The David and Lucile Packard Foundation was designed to serve as a catalyst for broader organizational sustainability initiatives by achieving Net Zero Energy use and LEED Platinum certification. This effort began right from the outset with deconstruction. The 1.5-acre site, set among 1960’s era buildings, was cleared in a way that maximized landfill diversion. In fact, 95 percent of construction waste was successfully recycled or salvaged, which earned the project the maximum LEED points in the Construction Waste Management category.The regional architectural language and material selection brings local poignancy to a replicable prototype. A conventional office building plan is pulled apart to form two 40’ wide daylit office bars united by a beautifully landscaped courtyard. Fresh air and natural daylight animate a workplace programmed to match today’s work styles with a balanced mix of quiet areas for individual work and a wide range of collaboration spaces. Inside, meeting rooms are outfitted for remote collaboration, promising dramatic reductions in travel-related carbon emissions. Additionally, a transportation demand management plan helped eliminate the need for an $8 million underground parking garage, further reducing the organization’s carbon footprint. Rainwater is collected for toilet flushing and irrigation, and stormwater is retained on-site.Through integrated building design and aggressive reductions in plug loads, the building’s energy use will be reduced by 65 percent. In addition, innovative use of roof-mounted photovoltaic panels will offset any energy used, resulting in a Net Zero Energy building – and an organization that’s leading the world by example.Credits:Marc L’Italien, FAIA, LEED® AP, BD+C - Owner/PrincipalScott Shell, FAIA, LEED® AP, BD+C - Owner/PrincipalBrad Jacobson, AIA, LEED® AP BD+C - Project ManagerTerry McCormick - ArchitectLotte Kaefer - ArchitectDavid Antilla - AssociateJohn Christiansen - AssociateUrsula Currie - AssociateMichelle Hill - AssociateJanika McFeely - DesignerLynne Riesselman - ArchitectLauren Roan - DesignerEmmy So - Designer
