Sitting by the Dock of the Bay
The federal landlord, General Services Administration, has been a leader in sustainable design for the past ten years, through its design excellence program. As a newly appointed national Peer Professional, I was invited to San Francisco to learn about this amazing federal initiative. Every building has been a LEED building since 2000, according to GSA. The new 600,000 sq.ft. Federal building in San Francisco, designed by Thom Mayne of Morphosis in Santa Monica, CA, will have unprecedented amounts of daylighting and natural ventilation and will be perhaps the largest building in the U.S. with operable windows. Under construction now, this building will soon be recognized as one of the most innovative in North America.
