A 3-story, 65,000-SF tilt-up concrete industrial building adjacent was renovated for administrative use for the Capital Programs and Facilities Management (CPFM) department. The new office space fosters increased collaboration between employees while offering a welcoming public face for the department. The renovated shell and new interiors serve as a prototype for progressive workplace and environmental strategies for CPFM's research university clientele.

The project was awarded the 2010 Livable Building Award by the Center for the Built Environment at UC Berkeley. The selection was based on documented user satisfaction surveys with acoustic quality, air quality, maintenance, lighting, furnishings, office layout and thermal comfort - all tabulated against mean benchmarks.
