As the first Southeast U.S. building to meet strict Living Building Challenge mandates, the Kendeda Building for Innovative Sustainable Design features a host of innovations—from renewable energy systems that generated 250% more power than the 47,000-sq-ft multipurpose facility used in its first year to mass timber construction with wood salvaged or from responsibly managed forests.
In 2014, the National Basketball Association’s Golden State Warriors purchased the 780-ft by 650-ft site for a new arena because it afforded views of Mission Bay and was large enough to accommodate the team’s plans.
The team tasked with completely rehabilitating an 8,500-ft-long, 150-ft-wide runway at Sacramento International Airport in just 6½ months not only did so on schedule, but also achieved a record industry standard for pavement smoothness.
Where coffee meets Willy Wonka is what Starbucks fans will find at its Chicago Reserve Roastery on Michigan Avenue, in a renovation that turned the 43,000-sq-ft space into a retail experience as much as a coffee outlet and cafe.
A congested site near three ongoing campus projects and three operating medical buildings required the Health Sciences Innovation Building team to attend weekly meetings with other project teams and the owner to ensure needed 24-hour access to campus buildings.
Shortly after work began in 2017 on Mission Health’s long-planned 12-story hospital tower in Asheville, N.C., an unexpected problem at the jobsite began setting off alarms.
