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.

A new 7-story parking structure, along with two adjacent surface parking lots will serve state workers at the new Richards Boulevard Office Complex, a key catalyst in the revitalization of the River District.
On the exterior, the precast concrete structural system is expressed along all four sides, contextually appropriate to the surrounding industrial aesthetic. The use of exposed concrete and a repeating grid mimics the exterior design strategies used at the complex’s main office towers, tying the two sides of the campus together. Materials used reinforce the ideas of openness and clear visibility. A portion of the parking structure will be screened with the majority occurring on the north façade.
The parking structure was strategically placed on the site to serve as a landmark for the larger campus with clearly defined paths of travel for vehicles, pedestrians, and bicyclists. A large, distinct pedestrian pathway which connects the parking structure and surface lots to the office complex is designed to provide safe and easy wayfinding and an enhanced pedestrian experience.
The structure’s internal layout allows for an efficient and clear arrangement of stalls and ramps. The main entry and exit points are located away from the pedestrian-oriented street to separate major vehicle and pedestrian traffic. The structural system eliminates the need for shear walls allowing the interior to feel more open and transparent.

C0004 UC Davis Health, Parking Structure 4, 2020

Parking Structure 4 at UC Davis Health&#8217;s Sacramento campus is a successful example of a human-centered design solution for an urban medical center. Designed for flow and a safe user experience, the entry and exits to the south side of the structure were relocated from the original plan so vehicular traffic is segregated from the pedestrian flow. This offers the user clarity and sets the tone for various wayfinding and lighting strategies. The use of ECO Falcon cameras for available stall detection and LED lighting provide the most technologically advanced systems available for the parking structure.
Reinforcing the horizontality of the campus’ aesthetics, integral color and form liners throughout the precast elements provide textures and tones. The structural layout reduces columns and increases opening sizes, focusing daylight into the center of the structure. Level indicators are located clearly on column faces, combined with directional signage.
Site design promotes a safe and intuitive user experience. Landscaping softens the impact of the structure on the surrounding residential neighborhood and integrates a nature walk with native species. Shuttle stops, bike shelters and bike share options are available at the main pedestrian exits, giving users safe access to their last mile of transportation. Security is intentional yet not obvious; implementing CPTED best practices.
Parking Structure 4 is designed to achieve Parksmart Silver certification.

Parking at Sacramento State has been notoriously difficult. The university is building their fifth parking structure and revamping their alternative transportation options. The campus asked Dreyfuss + Blackford to create a Master Plan for all their transportation related signage and wayfinding so it looked cohesive and would serve them for the next 20 years. Special emphasis was needing in accommodating the four existing parking structures and 14 surface lots. The look and feel also needed to be translated to other modes of getting to campus: shuttle, EV, bicycle routes, autonomous vehicles, bus and light rail. The final master plan document gives the campus a road map for signage consistency and implementation. As modes of transportation change in the coming years, Sac State will be ready.
Specific features of the master plan include standardizing permit types based on use. Administrators, Employees, Students and Residents all have dedicated areas to park in and these zones tended to change over time. We devised a plan to give permit-holders an easier way to identify who can park where and when. Specifically branded regulatory and directional signage gives a consistent look allowing everyone to understand they are travelling through planned spaces inside a larger campus, which reduces anxiety, fosters a sense of security, and provides clear direction quickly. Inside the structures, zones of color note special use areas on each floor. Bicycle parking, paths, and corresponding directional signage is also being folded into the new brand (all based on existing Sac State branding guidelines), as is other alternative modes of transportation. Consideration of materials and capabilities of the Facilities Management Department for on-campus sign fabrication was carefully reviewed to ensure requirements could be met in-house, as needed.
The first campus area to implement the new signage standard is Parking Structure 5.

C1026, UC Davis Health, Parking Structure 5, 2021

On UC Davis Health’s Sacramento campus, Parking Structure 5 provides exceptional space for patients, visitors, and staff to feel safe, clearly find their way, and efficiently park their vehicle in a very open and day-lit space. With all vehicles entering and exiting the structure through a subterranean entrance off the adjacent mid-block intersection, the cross-campus flow of pedestrians and bicycles is uninterrupted.
Serving the Cancer Center and new California Tower, the structure brings stalls with a flexible layout, focused on accessibility on every floor with the potential to accommodate loading areas for patient drop-off inside the structure. Using architectural precast concrete, extruded aluminum fins, solid and perforated aluminum panels and fully glazed elevator towers, the architectural form and material expression celebrate the high-quality spaces and representation of the design-focus for the medical campus.
Photovoltaic panels installed on the top floor provide electricity to the structure. There is also short term bike stalls, and long-term secure bike parking for 125 inside the structure.
Parking Structure 5 is designed to achieve Parksmart Gold certification.

Dreyfuss + Blackford Architecture was invited to participate in a competition to design a new exterior treatment on the east and south sides of an existing parking garage on 3rd Street at UCSF’s Mission Bay campus in San Francisco. As UCSF is a top-rated research University, our façade concept fosters the feeling of discovery through ever-changing views that obscure and show colored horizontal fins threading in-between the verticals. Each vertical fin represents an individual EKG reading of a heartbeat rhythm, representing the many doctors and researchers who have participated in the University’s extensive history of scientific advancement.
Forty-nine split-v prefinished aluminum vertical fins project up-to three feet from the existing structure. The varying texture of the CNC-cut fins obscure the colored horizontal louvers from the north and south approaches. As the viewer passes, the louvers begin to reveal an undulating pattern that appears to grow like a vine from a seed. Inspired from medical and scientific discovery, the louvers represent the impact of a single discovery &#8211; the smallest of fins start singularly at the upper left corner and grow with increased number and size across the facade.

The garage is connected to the terminal by an enclosed pedestrian bridge on the second level, allowing ticketed passengers to proceed directly from their vehicle to the gate with ease and safety. This feature also allows for better traffic flow past the terminals as it reduces the number of pedestrians crossing the lanes of traffic.
