What We Believe

At EHDD, we believe it’s possible to design a collectively greater future for our clients, society and the environment. Our commitment has been recognized with more than 100 design awards including the prestigious AIA (American Institute of Architects) National Firm of the Year award.

Great design advances civilization while recognizing our responsibility to the future. It respects the changing needs of users, the evolution of communities and the impact on the natural environment.

ADVANCING CIVILIZATION Architecture is a physical manifestation of human progress. The built environments in which we live, work and play reflect the sum of technological advances and building innovations accumulated throughout the course of history. But great design also recognizes our considerable responsibility to the future. Our goal is to ensure that in everything we do, we contribute to the building of a more civilized world.

ADVANCING CULTURE EHDD is celebrated for its ability to envision spaces and places that excite our imagination, enhance our culture and inspire higher thinking. From libraries, to science and academic buildings, museums, aquariums and zoos, we strive to create the civic and cultural centerpieces that are the hallmarks of an advanced society.

Many buildings from the firm’s early years are landmarks in our lives today, and will continue to enrich us for generations to come—a testament to the timeless nature of visionary, user-focused design.

ADVANCING DESIGN At EHDD, we look at architecture as a unique opportunity to imagine a better future; a way to sustainably transform the character of a physical space while enriching the world around us. We create warm and welcoming environments that stimulate the intellect and the senses. We listen to and intently observe the people who will interact with the building and its environs, incorporating their needs, desires and ambitions into our thinking. The result is a design that is thoughtfully and intentionally integrated with the community, technologically advanced, environmentally responsible, and prepared for its future.

ADVANCING RELATIONSHIPS At EHDD, we understand that each of us—client, designer, consultant and user—brings a unique and valid perspective to the table. We recognize that the inherent cost, complexity and organizational dynamics of a significant project can bring out people’s passions. So we adopt our client’s mission as our own, working toward a shared goal and making decisions in a spirit of open collaboration, civility and respect. Valuing collaboration and mutualism, we champion the missions of our clients. We seek to understand and design in harmony with client needs because—like our clients—we are keenly attuned to their users’ experience.

What We Believe

ADVANCING SUSTAINABILITY We believe sustainable communities and organizations are much more profound than just green buildings.

We believe that addressing climate change is the grand challenge of our generation, and therefore, our scale of response must be commensurate with the size of the problem. This requires the architectural industry to push beyond simply modest improvements and calls for dramatic changes—like EHDD’s intense focus on net zero energy buildings. In the last ten years, our firm has realized that the biggest barrier in creating these types of buildings is the mental challenge of believing it can't be done. Beginning with small projects at 7,000 sq. ft. and working our way up to 330,000 sq. ft., we have found that it can certainly be done—even within a rational cost and delivery process. Architects have the opportunity to design and create the future that we want and need.

EHDD’s leadership in sustainable design is exemplified by our 11 LEED Platinum projects, 10 LEED Gold projects, and two LEED Silver projects. EHDD has also designed both the first and the largest Net Zero Energy Certified projects—The David and Lucile Packard Foundation office building and IDeAs Z2 Design Office in San Jose, California. The Exploratorium at Pier 15 is on track to become the largest Net Zero Energy museum in the United States. EHDD has also won five AIA National Committee on the Environment “Top Ten Green Projects” awards.

UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, SAN FRANCISCO CLINICAL SCIENCES BUILDING SEISMIC RENOVATION San Francisco, California The Clinical Sciences Building is a seven-story structure built in 1933 by UCSF to service the medical sciences campus. This seismic renovation project includes a gut remodel of the entire building which will not only make the building resilient in the face of earthquakes but reinvigorate the sustainable design principles of the original design.

Historic exterior concrete facades will be cleaned and repaired, cracks patched to match, and the entire building painted similar to the original color scheme; meanwhile walls will be insulated from the interior and windows replaced with dual-pane low-e glazing to improve thermal comfort and energy performance. A major cut through the building create a long-needed north-south connection between the two primary outdoor spaces on campus, Parnassus Avenue and Saunders Court.

The original passive functionality of the design is restored through re-establishing cross ventilation and daylighting as the primary means for thermal comfort and daytime lighting. Open floor plans and thoughtful zoning makes the most out of the inherent, passive features that served the building in an era before mechanical and electrical systems were relied upon for lighting and comfort.

Programming for sustainability allows this project to get the most out of its inherent strengths. Labs are relocated to more appropriate and densely used lab buildings at UCSF. Classrooms and large conference rooms requiring cooling are organized on the ground and first floors to allow efficient organization of mechanical systems required. Open floor plans adjacent to exterior walls improve daylighting and allow for cross-ventilation, significantly increasing effectiveness of natural ventilation.

The narrow building footprint faces north and south, which allows the majority of spaces to be naturally daylit, reducing electricity use for lighting and improving indoor environmental quality. LED lighting with daylight-responsive dimming provides high quality electric lighting that automatically adjusts to daylight levels, thereby harvesting any potential energy savings. Breathtaking views of San Francisco and the Bay are opened up to all occupants by locating enclosed spaces generally towards the interior. Thermally-massive concrete walls can retain heat through the night, evening out the diurnal swings characteristic of the local climate.

An enhanced seismic design utilizing post-tensioned shear walls exceeds code requirements. In conjunction with robust design of non-structural systems (such as facades and pipework) to withstand expected earthquakes, the design promises to be operational after even major earthquakes and operate as a resilient resource to the UCSF community.

Finally, right-sized mechanical systems connect to efficient campus loops to reduce expected energy use down to an EUI in the low 20s. Mechanical system cooling is only provided where necessary – in spaces such as classrooms – while lightly tempered, 100% outside air is provided to office spaces to improve comfort on warmer days. Excess campus steam and centrally-produced chilled water feed heating and cooling systems, saving energy, costs and maintenance associated with standalone building boilers and chillers. Roofs are supplied with necessary infrastructure and kept clean of significant equipment to maximize a future photovoltaic installation, to be coordinated with UCSF-wide solar procurement initiative.

UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, MERCED SCIENCE + ENGINEERING BUILDING 1 Merced, California

As one of the first three academic buildings at the University of California Merced, the Science + Engineering Building accommodates all laboratorybased instructional and research activities for both the Natural Science and Engineering Divisions.

L-shaped in plan and arranged in three stories, the building bounds two sides of a large campus green. Twenty-three classroom labs, an open academic computing center, and a 60-person seminar room complete the primary student-related spaces. EHDD’s design for this project addresses one of the university’s primary goals: to foster interdisciplinary collaboration between the science and engineering disciplines, as well as faculty and students.

The design of laboratory space is modular and prototypi­cal to easily accommodate shifts in types of activity and densi­ty of personnel while minimizing remodeling costs associated with these programmatic adjustments. Open lab suites, sized to accommodate three or four principal investigators, comprise the majority of the upper two floors.

This building is a model facility for the campus, so the creation of pleasant interior environments to sustain the work and promote the interaction of researchers demanded an innovative approach to both building technology and form.

During the programming phase, the design team began meeting regularly with the director, along with other representatives from the various departments, to understand their structure and personality as an institution, how their current building affected their operation, and to set goals for the expansion that would enhance their projected growth and development as a national leader in their field. This resulted in a number of key concepts that guided the programming of spaces and the eventual design of the building.

UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, IRVINE CROUL HALL PHYSICAL SCIENCES BUILDING Irvine, California UC Irvine needed to accommodate growth in the Department of Earth System Science, which studies the global environment. The project had to support the diverse and multidisciplinary research for which the department is recognized. Croul Hall was designed as a three-story structure housing research laboratories, office and support space, and classrooms. The space includes a conference facility on the top floor for regularly scheduled seminars, colloquia, and national and global forums (e.g., Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change). Another conference room is on the first floor. Built with custom-colored earth-toned masonry, the facility is accented in the element of copper throughout. Circles visible in the concrete forecourt combine with lights hung at various heights within the contiguous atrium to create a solar-system effect, especially at night. Research underway at Croul Hall includes the study of systems affecting the ozone layer, climate change linked to human activity and variation in regional weather patterns-all affecting the field of geoscience on a national level.

CARNEGIE INSTITUTION FOR SCIENCE DEPARTMENT OF GLOBAL ECOLOGY Stanford University, California

The Department of Global Ecology at Stanford University is dedicated to studying interactions among the earth’s ecosystems. This 11,000 squarefoot, two-story building houses 45 full-time researchers, and is comprised of a laboratory and investigation area on the first floor, with offices and meeting rooms on the second floor.

EHDD’s design for this project was driven by a desire to provide a very low energy cooling system that achieved sustainability without sacrificing economy, comfort, worker efficiency, or beauty.

While lab buildings typically use four times the energy of most campus buildings, the Department of Global Ecology reduces gas emissions to an absolute minimum. A night sky cooling system sprays a thin film of water on the roof, which radiates heat to the cold, deep space sky, producing chilled water. This water is stored and circulated through the granite slab floor to cool the spaces. In addition, a “windcatcher” and misters cool the indoor/ outdoor lobby, lowering the temperature of air cascading into the space.

Berkeley’s Southside Area is a heavily pedestrian-oriented neighborhood. The design challenge facing EHDD was how to infill the existing streetscape with 874 beds in dormitory and apartment-style student housing for the University of California, Berkeley—and ensure it peacefully coexists with nine-story residential towers and smaller historic Southside Area neighborhood buildings.

E H D D

With careful attention to the scale and massing of the buildings, the design is responsive to the rich, eclectic character of the neighborhood through respect for and creative interpretation of existing architectural and urban characteristics. The buildings step from 4 to 7 stories in height. Sloped roof forms, bay windows and other building elements were added to articulate the building mass. Orienting the infill buildings to the street and activating the street façades with lobby entrances, apartment patios and elevated porches, exterior staircases, and landscaped walkways brings life back to the street and creates a safer, more pedestrian friendly environment.

Listed as historic landmarks at the national, state, and city level, the student housing of the Clark Kerr Campus of University of California, Berkeley, could be renewed but not significantly changed. Its “good bones” had been obscured over the years by a hodge-podge of surface-mounted utilities. EHDD has revealed the building’s strong character, organizing rooms to capture the beauty of daylight and treating exposed utilities like good jewelry. Where hidden, utilities are easily accessible for maintenance. On this steep site, with no existing code-compliant wheelchair access, the renovation makes every building (although not every floor) accessible.

Housing 4: The Summits is a new student housing project, part of University of California, Merced’s ongoing campus development and expansion. It will house over 350 students, mostly freshman, and is located immediately adjacent to the main academic campus. The project is designed to foster a sense of community throughout the building, by providing a series of shared spaces at different scales. Small clusters of dormitory rooms and shared public space serve as intermediary “block” communities between the dorm room and the larger floor neighborhood.

This configuration facilitates social interaction and student integration into the campus community. Additionally, these “neighborhoods” provide significant user flexibility as each floor and each building wing is nearly self-sufficient.

In addition to its residential program, the project incorporates public gathering spaces and amenities at both the building scale, and at the smaller, “neighborhood” scale. On each floor, studies provide smaller, quiet nooks, and also allow light and views into the ends and midpoints of the corridors, while central lounges become larger community spaces for interaction and socializing. Each lounge occupies a central, iconic location in the building and takes on an architectural character distinct from the housing blocks, lending variation and transparency to the building façade.

Shared public program at the ground floor serves to activate the courtyard which connects the new housing to an existing residential development.

The 37,000-square-foot bookstore and 6,700-square-foot Graduate Student Commons and plaza at University of California, Santa Cruz creates a focal point for student activities in a decentralized campus. The buildings house a bookstore, offices, conference rooms, private study rooms, lounges with fireplaces, and a restaurant/cafĂŠ, equipped to create indoor/outdoor spaces. Both buildings are clad in a combination of corrugated metal siding and cement plaster with a standing seam metal roof. Strategically placed operable aluminum windows capture surrounding views. As the university does not allow air-conditioning, a variety of strategies were used to cool the buildings including sunshades, heat mirror glass, night-time ventilation, and thermal mass.

EHDD’s second project at University of California, Merced, a 4,400 square foot addition to a previously undistinguished dining facility, develops a sequence of increasingly private, indoor/outdoor dining spaces springing off of Scholars Lane, a main campus thoroughfare. An entrance patio adjacent to the lane forms a vibrant student gathering place; a quiet herb garden extends the private dining room. Simply and elegantly detailed, the lightweight structure provides balanced light and natural ventilation, while moderating the volume of lively student conversation. The quality and variety of spaces created by the project have made it the social center of this small but growing campus.

VALPARAISO UNIVERSITY CHRISTOPHER CENTER FOR LIBRARY AND INFORMATION SERVICES Valparaiso University, Indiana

This new 100,000 sq. ft. building is designed to be compatible with the existing campus environment, incorporating strong contemporary forms constructed of brick, glass, limestone and metal in a modern prairie-style vernacular. The library is set into the natural grade of the site, stepping gracefully down a hill, and is highly visible from the campus entrance. The building is organized on four floors, providing comfortable and orderly space for the user and for efficiency of operation for the staff. The building is entered from the campus commons through a community room on the second floor with the first point of contact being the circulation and reference desks. The second floor is tied to the lower level via a monumental stair and the two floors are designed to work together as a unit. Large expanses of glass bring natural light into the space for reading spaces at the perimeter and allow for views to an adjacent meadow. A similar concept is utilized for the third and fourth floors, where roof monitors provide natural light to the interior, and openings in the floor between the levels allow light to enter deep into the building. In addition to the typical library functions, the program includes large and small conference/study areas, a library resource center, community and boardrooms with catering kitchen, faculty offices, casual reading areas, a cafĂŠ, and a state-of-the art automated document retrieval system.

The nature of the academic library continues to transform, as research and learning evolve along with technology. As people increasingly access information, communicate with their peers, and manipulate content digitally, the library’s role as archive becomes secondary to its larger role in supporting and enhancing academic collaboration and student learning.

82

The UC Santa Cruz, Science & Engineering Library, designed by EHDD in 1989, is a beloved icon, but required renovation to fulfill these newer purposes. With the planned removal of the majority of the permanent collection, the Library saw an opportunity to provide students and faculty the spaces and tools they need for a new, broader range of collaborative activity. EHDD led a masterplanning effort that included workshops, surveys and discussions with library users, as well as detailed research into the technical aspects of the existing building systems.

The final design respects the iconic nature of the original building, while still allowing for radically new types of use. The main floor is transformed into an intensely active hub—new program includes an Active Learning Classroom as well as a flexible innovation lab, and expanded individual & group study areas. The proposed renovation increases the number of group study rooms from 8 to 40, filling a vital need for student collaborative space. Adding a cafÊ provides a necessary amenity for both the library and its adjacent neighborhood, as well as allowing additional spaces for informal activity and interaction.

Originally built in 1967, the five-story library is currently in the middle of a much needed refurbishment to update its significantly outmoded systems, as well as breathe new life into the existing facility. In a survey conducted by the University, the building was described by students and faculty as a dark and uninviting space that does not provide a positive learning environment.

This assessment provided EHDD with a clear design goal—transform the spaces into a warm, lively and user-friendly setting that will stand the test of time.

ARCHITECTURE INTERIORS PLANNING URBAN DESIGN

One of the ways we are achieving this is by expanding the lightwell to flood a large portion of the gathering spaces with natural daylight, which is also helping the University reach its sustainability goals for the project.

Our design calls for the undergraduate library’s configuration to be modified as well, in order to create a central hub/academic center that promotes interactive learning between student study groups.

The Moffitt Library was a four-story structure that, although it was fairly new, was rated seismically poor.

It also was the loading dock and receiving point for all materials coming into the complex. The materials were sorted and then transported by truck some 100 yards to the Doe Library where they were catalogued and from there, transferred either to the main stack in Doe, to the branch libraries, or the Bancroft.

Over the course of studying the inefficiencies of the system, it became clear that Moffitt not only had to be seismically strengthened, but also had to stay in operation since it was the undergraduate library and had no counterpart or replacement anywhere else on campus. A seismic strengthening system was developed which accomplished the seismic task without interfering with the basic operation of the library, and the library functioned throughout the seismic work.

ARCHITECTURE INTERIORS PLANNING URBAN DESIGN

89

For the addition, EHDD explored both above grade and below grade solutions. The north faรงade of the Doe Library is on the National Historic Register which meant it could not be modified or blocked by a new building. As we looked at the three buildings in section, we realized by placing a long underground addition we could in fact tie all the three buildings together service-wise and solve the issues surrounding their antiquated system. The six-level underground addition creates a connection between Moffitt, Doe and Bancroft Libraries and provides sufficient floor area to house the entire 1.1 million central collection of the Main Library (on compact shelving and on standard shelving). It also provides 500 workstations, wired for power and data; and a dedicated entrance to the new Loan Room and Circulation Desk, as well as a new Information Services area.

This project is the first in a long line of academic library commissions that the firm undertook in the 1990’s and is pivotal in developing our expertise and reputation in the design of this project type.

Located at the base of Mt Sutro, on the University of California campus in San Francisco, this library is located on a steep sloping site at the northwestern edge of the campus. It is adjacent to the existing student union and has marvelous views of the marine headlands and the golden gate bridge to the north and west. The building is designed to be compatible with the built environment of both the campus and the surrounding residential community, strong contemporary forms, broken down in scale, constructed of glass fiber reinforced concrete, glass, limestone and metal in a modern San Francisco Bay area vernacular. At the same time the library steps gracefully down the slope of the hill, is set into the natural grade of the site, part of the living landscape, terminates the northern and western edges of the campus and is highly visible from the surrounding neighborhood.

The library is 120,000 square feet, and is organized on 5 floors. One enters the building from the campus, at street level through a lobby on the third floor with the first point of contact being the circulation and reference desks. This entrance level contains the most used portions of the collection; reference, documents, and current periodicals as well as the twenty four hour reading room. The lower two floors are more utilitarian in nature, housing the majority of the older bound periodicals, classrooms and training rooms, the non-print collection, interlibrary loan, staff work spaces and library administration.

The upper floors are more elegant; containing monographs, special reading rooms and even a roof top Japanese garden, and the library’s large, museum quality, collection of valuable rare books, Asian medicine and history.

We have created a building that is an integral part of this campus, as well as the intellectual center and heart of the University, yet maintains its own identity, is a structure of the twenty first century in terms of technology, linked electronically, but at the same time possessing a character and environment that is conducive to scholarship.

The new law library expanded and modernized the existing facilities of USF’s Law School. EHDD designed efficient floor plans to make the best use of a small, steep site at the edge of a residential neighborhood.

The building’s north side faces the campus and completes the central quad, while the south and east facades are massed to lessen the Library’s visual and psychological impact on the adjacent houses.

The three-story library’s program is designed so all reading and study areas are located at the building’s perimeter for maximum light and views. All spaces throughout the building are wired with electrical and telephone/computer connections to accommodate the needs of 21st century students. The library opens out onto a new plaza, visually connecting the renovated library with Kendrick Hall through a three-story atrium.

UNIVERSITY OF SAN FRANCISCO KENDRICK HALL LAW SCHOOL RENOVATION AND REMODEL San Francisco, California

At Kendrick Hall, the law school for the University of San Francisco (USF), EHDD completely remodeled an obsolete 1960’s building formerly occupied by the school’s library, which moved to the EHDD-designed Dorraine Zief Law Library (see separate description for details). Comprehensive interior renovations were carried out on the upper three floors of the building, with the lower two levels of parking that make up the building’s podium, untouched. The exterior scope consisted of adding a new curtain wall, 5-stop elevator, and new windows for re-sized openings.

The first floor of the new Kendrick Hall contains an expansive “rotunda” where students meet, obtain information, and view changing exhibits. The floor also features renovated classrooms where each seat offers power, and both wireless and wired network connections; new instructional technologies and A/V systems; an expanded student lounge; and offices for various student organizations. The second floor contains a legal clinic suite, faculty offices, conference rooms, and a new state-of-theart moot courtroom large enough to hold a first year class. The third floor contains more faculty offices, seminar rooms, and a Justice Wing.

E H D D

This renovation project was extremely complex because of the absence of usable surge space on campus and the University’s requirement that the school stay in operation throughout the entire construction process. To address both issues, the project was designed in three separate bid packages to occur in three phases over a two-year period. Demolition was done primarily at night and on weekends, minimizing disruption and all construction on student spaces was completed during the summer months.

EHDD was actively involved with the fundraising process for this project. We prepared graphic promotional materials and conducted numerous public presentations, helping the University raise the required funds to build the project.

CITY COLLEGE OF SAN FRANCISCO CHINATOWN/NORTH BEACH CAMPUS San Francisco, California

EHDD’s design of the new Chinatown/North Beach campus for City College of San Francisco exemplifies our firm’s strengths: innovative design that makes the most of its location, while respecting the interests of our client, the users, and the community.

The project is a result of over 30 years of grass-roots community activism to bring a college campus to a traditionally under-served community. The design process required ten years of stakeholder buy-in from wide ranging interests such as the San Francisco political community, historic preservationists, and educators. The goal of the project was to find a balance in creating a building that fits into the nearby Financial District, Chinatown and the Jackson Square Historic District, while simultaneously incorporating 21st century teaching, technology and innovation. The building provides 39 classrooms and laboratories, administrative offices, library and a community room which opens up into a terrace overlooking Portsmouth Square. (A 4-story annex houses the culinary program which includes a teaching kitchen, a community auditorium, four classrooms and a public café.)

The result is an artful combination of technology and transparency resulting in a compact (.25 acres), open and dynamic 14-story “vertical” campus serving over 4,000 students a day in the heart of the Chinatown community.

Taking full advantage of its urban site, the project is located within close proximity to an extensive public transportation network. Bike racks and showers are provided as an additional option for urban commuters. Almost all of the students live, work, or do business in Chinatown and nearby neighborhoods and attend college programs during the course of their busy days in the community. More than 90% of students walk or ride public transportation to class.

The project is LEED® Gold certified, and creates a transparency that makes clear to passersby the building’s academic purpose. In the context of a project that required the buy-in of a wide variety of interests, the ambitious green goals have been key in winning public support and creating a building that will serve as an anchor for the community.

VALPARAISO UNIVERSITY COLLEGE OF ART & SCIENCES Valparaiso, Indiana The College of Arts And Sciences at Valparaiso University is an addition to the Christopher Center for Library and Information Resources (CCLIR). EHDD’s new academic building brings together nine departments and provides 95 faculty offices and support spaces, as well as ten classrooms and a Language Center.

While the two buildings were always planned by the University to be physically connected, programmatically they function quite differently.

Critical to bringing together the various departments was to create opportunities for the faculty to meet and interact in settings both formal (meeting spaces) and informal (shared administrative and support spaces and a Faculty Commons area).

E H D D

As an addition, the building respects the signature massing of the EHDD-designed CCLIR by using clean volumes and similar materials. However, it establishes its own identity through the striking articulation of those materials. The design identity for College of Arts And Sciences crystallized with the development of a digitally fabricated screen element over the main entrance to the building.

Inspired by the University’s Latin motto—“In Luce Tua Videmus Lucem,” which translates to “In Thy Light, We See Light” — the screen plays on the idea of light as a metaphor for knowledge and education. The word light is translated into thirty-nine languages, including the nine that are taught on the Valparaiso campus, and incorporated into a lattice design cut out of an aluminum plate.

During the day, the screen reflects the sunlight against the backdrop of the building materials; at night, the interior spaces glow, setting the letters in relief. The screen has become a focal point for the entire University, not just the grouping of departments housed in the building.

EHDD’s comprehensive restoration of Walter Ratcliff’s 1928 Spanish Revival Music Building enriches Mills College’s historic campus architecture and modernizes facilities for its renowned music department.

The rehabilitated, 500-seat Jeannik Mequet Littlefield Concert Hall shines as a contemporary performance space with an expanded stage, accessible seating and upgraded electronics. New acoustical panels complement the historic character and provide a neutral setting for restored Raymond Boynton frescoes and choir loft murals. A new, sky-lit addition incorporates an original exterior courtyard, gracefully connecting old and new.

The renovation makes all public areas fully accessible, yet preserves the building’s historical integrity. Seismic reinforcement and upgrades to the existing environmental controls system are unobtrusively installed. New and remodeled offices honor historical architectural features.

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% of construction waste was successfully recycled or salvaged, which earned the project the maximum LEED Points for Construction Waste Management.

E H D D

The design includes two slender daylit office wings flanking a beautifully landscaped courtyard. The regional architectural language and material selection brings local poignancy to a replicable prototype. Rainwater is collected for toilet flushing and irrigation, and stormwater is retained on-site. Inside, meeting rooms are outfitted for remote collaboration, promising dramatic reductions in travelrelated 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.

Through integrated building design and aggressive reductions in plug loads, the building’s energy use will be reduced by 65%. 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.

The Exploratorium’s move to Pier 15 provides a prime waterfront location for this internationally acclaimed museum of science and perception.

Situated midway between Ferry Plaza and Fisherman’s Wharf, the new Exploratorium brings to life a previously dormant stretch of the San Francisco’s historic Embarcadero waterfront.

114

EHDD’s design allows visitors to experience the exhibit space highlighted by a glass-enclosed observatory with an unobstructed view of San Francisco Bay. The building also offers two cafes, a theatre, more than a dozen classrooms and teacher training rooms, wood and metal workshops, two retail stores, offices, and a large outdoor plaza.

Additionally, the Exploratorium now has 33% more space for future expansion—meeting their needs for today and years to come.

ARCHITECTURE INTERIORS PLANNING URBAN DESIGN

E H D D

The complexity of the program was matched by the challenge of rehabilitating an existing historic structure in the most energy efficient manner possible. To that end, the building takes advantage of the original pier building’s natural lighting and the water of the Bay for cooling, and uses materials that are both sustainable and durable enough to withstand a harsh maritime climate. The result will be the country’s largest net zero energy museum.
