C2021.00 Chico State University Services 0500

The University Services Building at California State University, Chico is the new home for the Facilities Management &amp; Services (FMS). Located on the periphery of the campus, the building location optimizes functionality and flow within the existing facilities service yard. An open floor plan accommodates conference rooms, private offices, open workstations, work-room spaces, and other building support spaces.

The USB is the first mass timber building designed and built within the CSU system. The mass timber structure consists of glulam columns and beams, cross laminated timber (CLT) structural decking, and a lateral structure of steel brace frames. 
 
The mass timber structure provides multiple benefits for the building design and CSU campus. As the first of it’s kind at Chico State, the building is an educational tool for not only the FMS department, but also for students. Using mass timber reinforces the campus’ master plan goals of prioritizing sustainability and resiliency by using low carbon materials and systems. The use and expression of wood within the building interior also adds biophilic design benefits by connecting the building occupants more closely to nature.

The design team worked closely with the campus and stakeholders to establish shared values and goals for the project which include maximizing interior daylight, maximizing structural and building systems efficiencies, minimizing environmental impacts, and designing for future flexibility. 
 
The use of mass timber is not the only design feature Programmatically, the floor plan layout locates building services and enclosed spaces such as conference rooms and offices in the core creating an open floor plate for flexible planning. The exterior design features large expanses of glass on the north and south elevations for maximizing daylight to shared spaces. The integration of exterior sun shade devices and CLT deck overhangs helps reduce direct sunlight and minimize solar heat gain. 
 
The project is designed to be all-electric, solar-ready, and achieve LEED Silver certification.

This new 10-story state office high-rise at the corner of 10th &amp; O Streets in Sacramento, fulfills critical office space infrastructure needs for the State of California. It serves as a temporary home for the legislative and executive elected officials for the duration of the Capitol Annex renovation. Afterwards, the building will remain the home for the legislative and executive staff.
Our Progressive Design-Build team of HOK and Hensel Phelps achieved the State’s aggressive energy use goals of Zero Net Energy and Carbon Neutrality through innovative design solutions which use a fraction of the energy of conventional office space. An energy efficient building skin allows for high levels of daylighting, minimizing direct sun on exterior glazing. Additionally, the split-core concept allows for an open plan with naturally-lit waiting areas, and several clustered conference spaces and common great rooms with views of the State Capitol. A highly-transparent open stair connects great rooms, encouraging impromptu meetings and interactions. The latest technology in lobby spaces and hearing rooms on the first two floors allows constituents to participate in government both inside hearing rooms and while in queue. Amenities include spaces for caucus meetings, conference committee meetings, general meeting rooms, legislative and executive branch offices, and integrated parking. With unparalleled views of Sacramento, the building will house 1,250 staff at opening and up to 2,200 staff in the future. A ground floor café will be open to the public after the Capitol Annex renovation is complete.
The project has a LEED Platinum certification and was the first to use Progressive Design-Build for the State of California.

C0001 State of California, DGS Richards Boulevard Office Complex (RBOC), 2020

Establishing an urban fabric for the current and future River District, Dreyfuss + Blackford Architecture is collaborating with ZGF on the State’s largest office complex to-date. Together with Hensel Phelps, the team will deliver a large campus with four high-performance office towers over a multi-function podium and a parking structure on a site north of Downtown Sacramento.
Each office building provides a rich amenities program calibrated for the needs of the building’s occupants as well as unique landscaped open spaces developed with RELM Studios. Featuring an integrated approach to sustainability, the project will exceed Title 24 by more than 15% and achieve the lowest practicable Energy Use Intensity (EUI).
The design of each tower conveys the significance of the civic functions housed within, while authentically reflecting the River District’s eclectic industrial character through the choice of materials including timber and metal. The site’s landscaping offers shade trees aligned to reinforce pedestrian circulation and wayfinding. The “Town Square”, a central public open space, and landscaped walkways at ground level tie together the podium and four towers into a coherent and inter-connected user experience. The towers are further connected by a three-story bridge between the two north towers, and a second level timber bridge across the Town Square, which forms a weather-protected link between the east and west of the campus. Amenity spaces are integrated into the podium, which is bisected by the Green Pathway, the central circulation spine that connects one end of the site to the other.
RBOC is designed to achieve zero net energy (ZNE) and zero net carbon (ZNC) for the entire site through State-purchased carbon-free green power.

B8006_Contra_Costa_EOC_Sheriff_15_W

Dreyfuss + Blackford has a specialty practice for Emergency Operations Centers (EOC) and our newest project of this type is for the County of Contra Costa. The County’s new EOC replaces an existing outdated facility.
This new essential service facility houses the office of the County Sheriff and Command Staff. A state-of-the-art Emergency Situation Room within the EOC is equipped with the highest level of communication technology. Additionally, the new building has a public training and lecture hall with amenities to support media briefings in times of emergency operations and community events.
Contra Costa County’s EOC is designed to operate independently for up to a week in the event of a natural disaster or crisis where city utilities are unable to function.
The project was designed to achieve LEED Gold certification.

The Placer County Animal Services Center replaces an existing 40+ year old shelter in north Auburn, California. It is a welcoming destination for visitors focused on animal wellness, care, and education.
The entire facility is designed to encourage people to quickly bond with adoptable animals in light-filled, transparent spaces that are engaging for all ages. Thoughtfully arranged in a compact plan, the program areas promote enhanced operational efficiency, flexibility, safety, and flow. Emphasizing public access and community visibility, the new Center is situated close to Avenue B, on the western edge of the Placer County Government Center in Auburn. The building has a patio outside the event center, bicycle racks near the front entrance, and a large, separately-accessible agility yard for the dogs.
The site is designed to protect the native habitat, trees, and open space for existing wildlife. A barn and paddock are situated in the southeast corner of the site with the ability to house horses, donkeys, cows, sheep and goats.
Integrated inside the facility are the latest best practices for disease control, odor control, and acoustics to promote health, reduce stress, and create a calming environment for both animals and people. The Center includes expanded spaces for dogs small and large, domesticated cats, feral cats, small mammals like rabbits, and exotics like geckos. A new animal clinic with a separate entrance is also part the new Center, specifically for animals residing at the Center. The new Center also includes a small store inside the lobby, called Retails, which sells items for adoptive owners, and products specifically branded by the Placer County Animal Services Center.
In 2017, the Design-Build Institute of America, Western Pacific Region awarded the project both a Design Excellence award and a Distinction Award.
Placer County Animal Services Center is certified LEED Gold by the USGBC.
