Award of Merit, Small Project: Golden Gate Bridge Improvement Project
The aim of this $4-million visitor enhancement project to commemorate the Golden Gate Bridge's 75th anniversary was to make significant improvements to the world-famous tourist site.
The project had six elements, all within a 50,000-sq-ft area east of the bridge's San Francisco toll plaza. Scope included the new Bridge Pavilion, a 3,500-sq-ft pre-engineered green building kit that included standardized structural elements, a cool membrane roof, insulated wall panels and high-performance, super-insulating glass units with suspended film technology.
