California State Office Building, Clifford L. Allenby Building

Government Office Building Offers Sustainable Future for Downtown Sacramento

As Master Criteria Architect for the new 365,000 square foot high-performance state office building constructed in Sacramento’s downtown core, HGA established performance criteria for one of the first large scale urban Zero Net Energy / LEED Gold 4.0 buildings in the country. By creating a conceptual design, workplace strategy, complete program and a viable budget and schedule, HGA integrated numerous demanding design conditions: progressive workplace planning; public spaces that engage the community; extensive daylighting; natural ventilation; significant reductions in energy and water use; high-rise building systems and regulations; and urban infill constraints. The result is a project that fully satisfies the State’s vision for the project and meets every critical success factor established at the project’s inception. Extensive computer modeling provided real-time analysis of multiple critical performance measures, including energy modeling, daylighting, structural optimization and workplace efficiency.
