The new BART headquarters in downtown Oakland, Calif., features nine office floors, a rooftop deck and public board room on the ground floor of the building. The 234,000-sq-ft design-build project was held to a tight ten-month timeline.
“Due to an expiring lease at their old office space, we had a completion date that could not move,” says Brendan Crockett, senior project manager at Turner Construction, the project’s general contractor. “This drove all our planning, design, permitting and construction sequencing for the project, [and] we ended up working on 10 different floors concurrently over the short project schedule.”
