Tasked with creating a workspace that tells Vertex Pharmaceutical’s story, designers envisioned a research facility that promotes health and wellness and fosters innovation from an already highly collaborative and connected community.

This four-story crime lab is an all-in-one campus with office and lab spaces, conference areas, training and interview rooms, two holding cells, a ballistics lab and 60,000 sq ft of evidence storage in the basement.

Occupying an entire city block, this $2.1-billion facility is San Francisco’s first new hospital in a generation and Sutter Health’s largest project to date.

California State University’s $27-million, 34,000-sq-ft College of Professional and International Education (CPIE) serves as a hub for international students to collaborate and integrate with the broader campus community.

San Diego’s newest library is not only four times larger than its predecessor, but also significantly more sustainable.

This $79-million, ground-up, masonry federal project is a four-building campus that includes a headquarters for mission-control and emergency operations and tactical data centers, a cable supply warehouse and two critical communications nodes for real-time situational awareness, decision making and command.

Bringing resilience to the Southern California grid, this 527-megawatt simple-cycle plant was built on a brownfield site previously occupied by a fuel oil tank farm and an older gas-fired power facility.

The project team was charged with moving electricity from renewable sources across diverse terrain extending from a southeastern California desert to urban coastal areas.
