HIGH PERFORMANCE
EXPERIENCE
ZGF Architects LLP (ZGF) is an award-winning architectural, planning, and interior design firm with offices in Portland, Seattle, Los Angeles, Washington, DC, and New York. Our portfolio features a diverse mix of projects for both private and public institutions, including work for healthcare, research, academic, civic, corporate, and commercial clients. ZGF has been an industry leader and pioneer in sustainable design. Over 25 years ago, we designed a headquarters building for the Bonneville Power Administration to use 50% less energy than its counterparts, which was selected by the GSA to serve as a national prototype for high-performance office building design. ZGF also designed the first double LEED-Platinum certified laboratory building. Since then, with over 150 LEED Accredited Professionals on staff, the firm has designed over 65 projects nationally that have been, or are registered to be, LEED-Platinum, -Gold, or -Silver certified. Additionally, a half dozen of our projects are pursuing performance standards that exceed the ambitions of LEEDPlatinum, and could be best defined by the Cascadia Region Green Building Council’s “Living Building Challenge” program, which requires projects to be net-zero energy, netzero water, and utilize site and material impact-neutral design. ZGF is committed to the 2030 Challenge, an initiative stating that all new buildings and major renovations reduce their fossil-fuel consumption by 2010, and incrementally increasing the reduction for new buildings to carbon neutral by 2030. Additionally, the firm is working with a number of universities who are signatories of the American College & University Presidents Climate Commitment to develop long-range sustainable design strategies for their campuses. Our sustainable design excellence has been recognized by numerous sustainable and high-performance design awards programs through the AIA, IIDA, EPA, DOE, GSA, American Public Transit Association, Green Roofs for Healthy Cities, State and Local government agencies, and utilities across the country.
UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, SANTA BARBARA DONALD BREN SCHOOL OF ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND MANAGEMENT Santa Barbara, California
ZGF DESIGNED THE DONALD BREN SCHOOL OF ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND MANAGEMENT WHICH WAS ONE OF THE FIRST BUILDINGS IN THE UNITED STATES TO BECOME LEED-PLATINUM CERTIFIED, AND IS THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA’S FIRST GREEN BUILDING.
It has also become the nation’s first building to earn two LEED-Platinum certifications, for both New Construction and Existing Building. The building surpasses code requirements for energy efficiency standards by more than 31%. To reduce heat-island effect, a special roofing material was installed to help keep the building cool. In addition, the Bren School was sited to harvest natural light. The office wing relies on natural ventilation with operable windows and transoms instead of air conditioning.
Daylight harvesting is coupled with a lighting plan that incorporates energy efficient fixtures and bulbs, and controls for motion and ambient light. A roof-integrated photovoltaic system was installed that allows 7 to 10% of the power to be generated cleanly on site during the warmest months. The project also pursued alternative power sources, such as fuel cells which were generously donated. The focus of the design was to create a building that would facilitate interaction through state-of-the-art research and teaching laboratories, faculty and administrative offices, conference and seminar rooms, and outdoor seating.
UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON MOLECULAR ENGINEERING & SCIENCES BUILDING
ZGF PROGRAMMED AND DESIGNED THE NEW MOLECULAR ENGINEERING & SCIENCES BUILDING, WHICH PROVIDES CRITICAL RESEARCH SPACE FOR THE DESIGN, DISCOVERY, AND ENGINEERING OF COMPLEX MOLECULAR SYSTEMS AND THEIR APPLICATIONS.
The two-phased project accommodates growth in molecular engineering; responds to the evolving interdisciplinary nature of teaching and research; and fits within a historic, high-density area of the campus. Research will lead to new discoveries with beneficial implications for major societal challenges ranging from energy, sustainability, and information technology to affordable and effective healthcare. The 90,000 SF Phase 1 building provides space to support a wide range of wet laboratory uses, including fume
Seattle, Washington
hood-intensive chemistry. The design takes advantage of the topography of the site to provide ground and basement level instrumentation laboratories (the largest on the West Coast) with ultra-low vibration and electromagnetic interference requirements, allowing the research laboratories to be above-grade to take advantage of daylight and views. Pursuing LEED-Gold certification, sustainable design highlights include the first laboratory building on campus with a naturally ventilated office component, optimized laboratory ventilation, use of highly energy efficient chilled beams, and a green roof. Phase 2 design has been completed and will provide an additional 70,000 SF.
CENTRE CITY DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION / CITY OF SAN DIEGO SAN DIEGO CIVIC CENTER COMPLEX / CITY HALL
CENTRE CITY DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION, IN COOPERATION WITH THE CITY OF SAN DIEGO, HELD A DESIGN COMPETITION FOR A NEW THREE PHASE, 3,000,000 SF MIXED-USE AND CIVIC CENTER COMPLEX IN THE HEART OF SAN DIEGO’S CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT. ZGF, TEAMED WITH GERDING EDLEN DEVELOPMENT COMPANY, SOUGHT TO ACHIEVE THE GOALS OF THIS PUBLIC / PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP BY PROVIDING NEW ADMINISTRATION FACILITIES FOR THE CITY, AND DEVELOPING AN EXCITING HIGH-DENSITY, URBAN MIXED-USE COMPLEX ON FOUR PRIME CITY BLOCKS IN DOWNTOWN SAN DIEGO.
The team’s plan was selected based on a design that includes opening up the site, and allowing the now blocked vistas to be reclaimed and reconnected
San Diego, California
to the urban fabric. The plan proposes reopening B Street and Second Avenue between A and B Streets to vehicular traffic, reconnecting the Civic Center with the neighborhood, and also making the Complex more accessible and welcoming for retail uses. Plazas, fountains, landscaped pedestrian promenades, and pocket courtyards are the backdrop to this active center for civic and everyday life. From its solar photovoltaic panels and garden rooftops to wind turbines and a central cooling and heating plant, the proposed new City Hall complex, along with mixed-use buildings and shared below-grade parking, will reflect the community’s vision. The team expects the project to exceed LEED-Platinum certification.
SUSTAINABLE DESIGN STRATEGIES
SOLAR THERMAL Solar thermal panels would capture the sun’s energy, heating water for use within the building.
SOLAR ELECTRICITY AND SHADING A photovoltaic system would contribute to the building’s power grid, and window shades would help keep the building naturally cool.
About 75% of total hot water demand would be offset by solar thermal panels
About 9% of total energy use would be offset by solar electricity panels
EFFICIENT LIGHTING The building would be designed to maximize the abundance of natural light available. Other measures would include the use of high-efficiency fluorescent lights and “smart” lighting controls that would turn off lights in areas where they are not needed.
WIND HARVESTING Wind blowing in from the ocean would turn small wind turbines, generating supplemental electricity for the building.
=
Solar panels would generate an estimated 795,000 kWh per year, or enough to power about 72 homes annually.
WIND TURNS TURBINES
GREEN ROOFS Green roofs, which have an insulating effect, would reduce heating and cooling costs and help remove contaminants from stormwater runoff. Plants would be drought-tolerant.
COLD FROM BEAMS OF CHILLED WATER
HYDRONIC COOLING A chilled water system would be used for cooling. More efficient than a forced-air cooling system, the chiller in the basement would pump the cold water through the building in special pipes. RECYCLED WATER An on-site wastewater treatment plant would treat water from toilets, sinks, and irrigation runoff for reuse as gray water.

THE 75,000 SF CLIF BAR HEADQUARTERS, DESIGNED BY ZGF, TRANSFORMS AN ORIGINAL WORLD WAR II VALVE MANUFACTURING FACILITY INTO A WORKPLACE HAVEN FOR THE OUTDOOR ENTHUSIASTS AT CLIF BAR & COMPANY, A LEADING MAKER OF ORGANIC SPORTS NUTRITION FOODS AND HEALTHY SNACKS.
The space celebrates the inherent natural light and volumetric space of a repurposed warehouse, while capturing the company culture and connecting employees to the outdoors through “biophilic” interior design. From custom door pulls made from repurposed bike frames to the largest “smart” solar array in North America—which provides most of the office’s electricity needs—the adaptive reuse focuses on Clif Bar’s core values to sustain its brands, its business,
its people, its community, and the planet. The project is LEED-Platinum certified for Commercial Interiors. The headquarters features an open office working environment, a research and development kitchen, an employee wellness area, onsite childcare, theater space, and a café.
SUSTAINABLE DESIGN STRATEGIES
REDUCE WATER Low-flow fixtures help reduce water use by more than 30%. REDUCE LIGHT ENERGY Daylight sensors switch off electric lights when there is ample daylight, reducing lighting energy use. NATURAL MATERIALS Interior planters and natural, non-toxic materials were selected in colors that reflect the natural environment and connect the occupants to the exterior. NATURAL LIGHT AND AIR Interior courtyards allow access to natural light and air; wireless network system allows the occupants to be outside and still work.
DAYLIGHT Daylight from existing clerestory windows was harnessed by designing large, open office areas to achieve interior light during most of the day. CONTROL WINDOW Glare control window coverings were installed to provide a comfortable working environment. Over 85% of occupied areas are naturally daylit. REUSE FURNITURE Furniture reuse over 60% of the furniture, kitchen equipment and theater equipment was reused, including workstations from a former tenant and kitchen equipment from a defunct restaurant.

OPERABLE WINDOWS Operable windows were refurbished to provide occupants fresh air, cooling, and connection to the outdoors. AIR TEMPERATURES Exposed concrete floors moderate indoor air temperatures; mass absorbs excess heat throughout the day. RECLAIMED WOOD Reclaimed wood was used throughout the project for stair treads, ceilings, floors, wall finishes, benches, table tops, and wall caps. CONSERVE ENERGY Individual occupancy sensory at each workstation turns off unused powered devices, helping to conserve energy and reduce building heat loads. RECYCLE Recycled sporting equipment that would have otherwise been tossed in a landfill was used to make door pulls and art installations.
THERMAL PANELS Solar thermal panels heat 70% of hot water used by Clif Bar, offsetting natural gas use and saving 27,000 pounds of co2 emissions per year. High-efficiency boilers provide back-up for nights and low sun days. WATER FILTER Stormwater run-off planter captures and filters water from the exterior play area preventing that runoff from entering the sewer system. MINIMIZE ELECTRICITY Occupancy sensors and time clocks control the lighting throughout the space, minimizing electrical lighting use. Task lighting serves individual workstations. GREEN ROOF Photovoltaic panels on the roof will generate over 700,000 kwh / yr and provide up to 75% of power for the tenant space.

Carlisle, Pennsylvania
ZGF DESIGNED A NEW 90,000 SF SCIENCE FACILITY, WHICH SERVES AS A UNIFIED HOME FOR FIVE PREVIOUSLY DISPERSED ACADEMIC PROGRAMS, AND ENHANCES DICKINSON COLLEGE’S TRADITION OF INTERDISCIPLINARY STUDY AND COLLABORATION,
The building includes interactive learning and research spaces for biology, biochemistry, molecular biology, chemistry, neuroscience, and psychology. The design balances a contemporary look with elements that are responsive to existing campus construction. Sloped roofs and limestone reflect the existing character of the campus, while the use of iridescent stainless-steel shingles and the glass curtain wall treatment convey a fresh, modern design approach. Multiple courtyards have been integrated to facilitate indoor and outdoor
teaching and interaction. Texture, color, and the playful use of materials at the exterior extend inside the building to humanize and add richness to the interiors. The facility is Dickinson’s first laboratory-intensive teaching building designed with LEED in mind, and it has achieved a LEED-Gold rating. The College has been historically one of the lowest energy users per square foot in the country and currently purchases 50% of its campus electricity needs from wind-generated power. Enthalpy heat wheel recovery mechanical systems and extensive commissioning guarantees the building systems and energy use performs as intended. A 30% reduction in water use is achieved through efficient fixtures and significant energy savings are generated from the highefficiency windows, exterior sun shading, interior light harvesting, occupancy sensors, and interior sunshades.

Durham, North Carolina
ZGF IS DESIGNING A FUTURE 250,000 SF FACILITY FOR THE DUKE UNIVERSITY, NICHOLAS SCHOOL OF THE ENVIRONMENT.
The facility will house wet and dry laboratories, teaching laboratories, administrative offices, computing laboratories, and offices for the Nicholas Institute, all organized in three stories around a central courtyard and atrium. About one-half of the program (125,000 SF) will feature the adaptive reuse of the structural frame of the existing, outdated Gross Chemistry building. In consideration of the project’s aggressive sustainable design strategies, site development is of minimal impact, taking advantage of a previously developed site. Other considerations include optimal building siting with regards to topography, existing vegetation patterns, and solar access. The project will seek a LEED-Platinum
rating. Proposed sustainable design strategies include the use of photovoltaics, underfloor air distribution, enthalpic heat wheel recovery, chilled beam M/E/P systems, daylight harvesting and solar control, double-skin façades, vegetated roofing, and a district-wide stormwater management plan.
SUSTAINABLE DESIGN STRATEGIES
HUMAN HEALTH Occupant comfort and satisfaction will be increased over existing school spaces through improvements in thermal comfort and temperature controllability, lighting, daylight and views, acoustic comfort, and air quality. These factors will be measured through pre- and post-occupancy evaluations. Extra care in material selection will reduce the number of toxic and hazardous compounds present, benefitting occupant health. ENERGY USE Overall energy consumption will be dramatically reduced through daylight harvesting strategies, high-performance envelope materials and aggressive shading techniques that decrease solar gain, physically isolating laboratories from office spaces to allow for efficient targeting of mechanical systems, de-coupling heating and cooling from ventilation, and onsite renewable energy generation.
MATERIALS IMPACT Stringent construction waste management plans and clever reuse of materials onsite will help divert large amounts of demolition and construction waste from landfills. Materials like 100% recycled content brick and wood harvested from the sustainably managed Duke Forest will reduce the building’s environmental footprint. LANDSCAPE AND ECOLOGY Planted filtration runnels and basins will cleanse stormwater of contaminants before it reaches local streams and watersheds. Green roofs and light-colored paving and roofing materials will lower the building’s overall temperature, reducing its impact on the local ecology and microclimate. BUILDING OPERATIONS Building operations will facilitate current University sustainable initiatives and will support innovation and development of new practices.

LIVING CITY DESIGN COMPETITION
Portland, Oregon
AS THE BUILDING BLOCKS OF CITIES, DISTRICTS ARE THE RIGHT SCALE TO ACCELERATE SUSTAINABILITY— SMALL ENOUGH TO INNOVATE QUICKLY AND BIG ENOUGH TO HAVE A MEANINGFUL IMPACT. YET IN A CITY THE WHOLE IS GREATER THAN THE SUM OF ITS PARTS, AND NEIGHBORHOODS BALANCE ASSETS LIKE WATER AND ENERGY BETWEEN EACH OTHER TO MEET CITY-WIDE NEEDS.
Recognizing this, the Living City Design Competition asked project teams to envision a future for an existing district that meets the requirements of the rigorous Living Building Challenge rating system. ZGF led a competition team in partnership with the Portland Sustainability Institute, and national leaders in EcoDistrict assessment and governance. The team’s
approach to the competition explores the symbiosis between five EcoDistricts in Portland and how strategies in a single East Portland district, Gateway, contribute to the city’s overall performance. The team’s entry, “Symbiotic Districts: Towards a Balanced City,” a combination of eye-catching images and innovative system strategies, garnered the People’s Choice Award.
SUSTAINABLE DESIGN STRATEGIES
RENEWABLE energy production (solar and wind) integrates into the urban fabric
RESIDENTIAL buildings use excess heat captured from supermarket refrigeration systems
GEOTHERMAL conditioning loops extend across the neighborhood below ground connecting to heat pumps in buildings
ORGANIC wastes are anaerobically digested to produce energy
PEOPLE, bikes, trains and buses dance in a multi-modal system on streets where cars are prohibited
LIVING INFRASTRUCTURE Bold infrastructure interventions build towards a city living in balance. The redevelopment of a main street at the site of a regional transit station provides a rich street life based on pedestrians, bicycles and public transport. Urban greenways created from abandoned freeways and green streets provide a new green city infrastructure for habitat, food, water and waste. In a net-zero energy and water community, local fuels power nodes of district energy that couple efficient mixed-use structures, and neighborhood water utilities capture, clean and reuse water arriving from the sky. The urban greenways, roof gardens, living walls and use of the in-between green spaces allow agriculture to be embedded into the community.
Existing Conditions
RICH STREET LIFE Automobiles lose their dominance by shifting rights of way to pedestrians and bikes, allowing Gateway residents and visitors to move easily between homes, services and the regional transit center. This fuels a rich street life for pedestrians, businesses and efficient transport, creating spaces ripe for communication and connection.
GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE A new green city infrastructure emerges for habitat, food, water and waste. Green streets and a new greenway over the I-205 freeway grow native habitat and food while treating and conveying water. Organic wastes are captured in the neighborhood, cleanly converted to fuels while creating industry for residents.
NET-ZERO ENERGY AND WATER Net-zero energy and water become easy targets with infrastructure that is scaled to the neighborhood. Thermal pipes bring geothermal heat to buildings, looping between them to capture efficiencies across the district. Sewer mining and organic waste provide additional firepower. Living machines throughout the district clean water, with distribution to every building through accessible networks laid under streets.
URBAN AGRICULTURE People grow food on every surface—organic fruits and vegetables are cultivated on the greenway, green spaces, rooftops, terraces and green walls. Small livestock inhabit the city alongside residents, further helping to generate one of Gateway’s most needed fuels—food—right where it is needed.

THE PORT OF PORTLAND’S NEW HEADQUARTERS BUILDING, DESIGNED BY ZGF, AT THE PORTLAND INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT SHOWCASES THE CLIENT’S COMMITMENT TO SUSTAINABLE PRACTICES WHILE REFLECTING A 21ST CENTURY CULTURE—ONE PORT—IN AN EFFORT TO INCREASE COLLABORATION AND FOSTER A TEAM ENVIRONMENT.
The new 205,603 SF building consists of three floors of office space atop seven floors of public airport parking. The facility is located to the east of Portland International Airport’s main terminal building and is connected to the existing parking structure, serving as a new gateway to the airport. The design reflects a reorganization of the Port along functional lines, rather than departmental, and brings together staff in the
Portland, Oregon
Marine and Aviation Divisions previously dispersed in several Portland locations. ZGF worked closely with the Port to develop new standards for office space to accommodate a shift from a closed office environment to primarily open plan—98% is open office, while 2% is private offices for those whose job functions demand privacy. With LEED-Platinum certification, the building incorporates radiant heating and cooling, daylighting, a “living machine”—an organic wastewater treatment system—and a green roof, among many other features. The project was also named one of the world’s most high-tech green buildings by Forbes magazine, as well as honored with a Smart Environments Award by the International Interior Design Association and Metropolis magazine.

Washington, DC
ZGF DEVELOPED URBAN DESIGN AND SUSTAINABILITY STRATEGIES FOR THE SOUTHWEST ECODISTRICT, AN EFFORT LED BY THE NATIONAL CAPITAL PLANNING COMMISSION (NCPC) AND GSA IN COORDINATION WITH THE DISTRICT DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION (DDOT), DC OFFICE OF PLANNING (DCOP), AND OTHER LOCAL AND FEDERAL AGENCIES.
The initiative aims to improve connections from the National Mall to the Southwest Waterfront and to transform the 10th Street SW and Maryland Avenue SW corridors south of the National Mall into a showcase of sustainability. The Ecodistrict will be an active, multi-modal, mixed-use neighborhood of significant cultural attractions and public spaces, offices, residences, and amenities. Three main
goals were established for the project: advancing recommendations in the Monumental Core Framework Plan; assisting the federal government to meet the goals and objectives of Executive Order 13514窶認ederal Leadership in Environmental, Energy and Economic Performance through the reduction greenhouse gas emissions from government facilities; and transforming this federal employment center into a model 21st century sustainable community, while enhancing the quality of life for pedestrians through the implementation of high performance landscapes, infrastructure, and streetscapes.

ZGF IS DESIGNING THE NEW 10,000 SF CENTER FOR COASTAL ECOLOGY TO INCREASE VISITOR UNDERSTANDING OF THE IMPORTANCE OF WATERSHEDS, WETLANDS, AND THE OCEANS TO THE HEALTH OF OUR PLANET.
Recognizing the vital role that science literacy plays in protecting coastal habitats, more than 4,000 SF of exhibition and laboratory space will be dedicated to fostering environmental stewardship through hands-on learning and participation in restoration activities. The program includes a wet laboratory, conference room / library, office space, informational lobby, and a gift shop. A 5,000 SF amphitheater / outdoor classroom will accommodate groups as large as 100 for educational programs, live animal shows, and theatrical presentations. Much in part to the organization’s
mission to restore, educate, and advocate, sustainability is a driver of the project’s design. ZGF is exploring going beyond LEED-Platinum certification to create a net-zero energy and net-zero water project. Net-zero energy strategies will include the use of natural light to meet lighting levels for the majority of daytime hours, passive ventilation, and a building monitoring system. Photovoltaics will be utilized to generate more energy than is used on site. Net-zero water strategies include high-efficiency fixtures and dry-composting toilets, as well as site-integrated water management systems.

Denver, Colorado
IN RESPONSE TO THE U.S. ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY’S (EPA) MISSION TO “PROTECT THE PUBLIC’S HEALTH AND SAFEGUARD THE NATURAL ENVIRONMENT IN WHICH WE LIVE, LEARN, AND WORK,” THE REGION 8 HEADQUARTERS WAS DESIGNED BY ZGF, WITH OPUS ARCHITECTS & ENGINEERS, INC., TO BE ENVIRONMENTALLY RESPONSIVE IN BOTH CONSTRUCTION AND OPERATION.
Consisting of nine stories of office space, two levels of below-grade parking, and ground-level retail, the new 292,000 SF building is a study in sustainable and mission-driven design. It is located on a remediated brownfield site, is LEED-Gold certified, features Denver’s first eco-roof designed specifically to treat stormwater, and serves as an example of, and a
laboratory for, ongoing research into high-performance, integrated design. Already teams have measured the building’s energy performance, surveyed its occupants with respect to comfort and performance, and observed the performance of its water management systems. The results of these undertakings have been shared with EPA officials, architects, developers and the general public via publication, conferences and building tours. The long-term hope for the facility is that it not only reflects and enlivens the urban neighborhood in which it is set, but that it will continue to inspire building teams to continue to push the boundaries of aesthetically intriguing sustainable design and urban renewal.
SUSTAINABLE DESIGN STRATEGIES
The fundamental organization of the building encloses a central atrium with two ‘L’-shaped wings; an eight-story ‘L’ that takes the incident solar radiation and provides a roof garden terrace, and a nine-story ‘L’ that takes the brunt of the prevailing winds and shelters the roof terrace.
Glare Analysis of Upper Occupied Floors (with and without the Sails).
Local sky and daylight conditions were studied carefully to derive the best solutions for harvesting natural light. A carefully conceived series of ‘sails’ suspended from the atrium roof was designed not only to drive light down into the space, but also to protect occupants of the upper floors from glare. In the end, the system was fabricated by a local sailmaker in Portland installed by a theatrical rigging company in Denver, and came in at 80% of the budgeted cost.
The green roof not only provides an amenity for occupants, but also performs the legally mandated stormwater quality functions for the project. The City and County of Denver agreed to allow this as a pilot project—possibly to become an accepted regional practice for pollutant removal and runoff control—following a effort in which the design team collaborated with international experts to prove its effectiveness and the EPA agreed to monitor and report its performance for five years of operation.

The 91,485 SF Eli and Edythe Broad CIRM Center for Regenerative Medicine and Stem Cell Research provides a permanent home for stem cell research in the University’s first LEED-Gold building on the Health Sciences Campus. The first floor is dedicated to public functions, with a lobby and large seminar room. The four floors above consist of open, flexible laboratories organized in a transparent neighborhood scheme, which sets this building apart from other laboratory facilities in that there are no obstructions across the
width of the building. This unique arrangement provides visual connections between program elements and allows flexibility for future modifications. Interaction areas on every floor further promote collaboration. An innovative, high-performance glass envelope brings natural light deep into the interior while serving as an integral part of the building’s operating system. The west façade utilizes angled glass fins to reduce glare. The east façade features a ventilated double-glass wall, which acts as a buffer to moderate interior temperatures, reduces solar gain, and creates oblique views with its play of transparent and translucent glass. The building is a R&D Magazine Laboratory of the Year High Honors Award recipient.

Dana-Farber Cancer Institute’s primary goal for the Yawkey Center was to create a state-of-the-art clinical building that promotes personalized, multidisciplinary, safe, respectful, and compassionate cancer care for patients and families in a healing environment. Other
goals were to stimulate translation of research into the care of patients, optimize flexibility and utility of space, streamline the flow of patients and materials, minimize wait and treatment times, foster productivity and collaboration among staff, and create a new front entrance and presence. The project is LEED-Gold certified, and served as a pilot in the Green Guide for Healthcare v2.2 initiative.

GREEN ROOFS Green roofs located on the 4th, 11th, 12th, 14th, and 15th floors include native and non-invasive adaptive plantings to mitigate stormwater runoff and to provide habitat for local fauna.
all-purpose cleaners utilize neutral, non-toxic ingredients, and auto-scrubbers used to clean the floors use electro-magnetic technology and ionized water instead of chemicals to disinfect.
NATURAL DAYLIGHTING The Center utilizes lighting operated by daylight-sensors that automatically reduces artificial lighting in public areas when daylight is available. All light fixtures are energyefficient and use low-mercury, long-life bulbs.
INDOOR ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY 100% outside air is used for all clinical spaces. Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC’s), persistent biotoxins, and other health hazards are minimized in the interior finishes.
WATER-USE REDUCTION All toilets use low-flow plumbing fixtures. Sink faucets, where applicable, are equipped with motion sensors, leading to a 55% reduction in water use.
FOREST STEWARDSHIP COUNCIL CERTIFIED WOOD The eucalyptus used throughout the building conforms to requirements of the Forest Stewardship Council. This ensures the sustainable logging of trees and the use of plantation grown wood.
ON-SITE ENERGY A heat recovery system transfers the heat from either intake or exhaust air, depending on the season, in order to reduce the amount of energy needed to bring the incoming air to a comfortable temperature. GREEN CLEANING Environmental Services staff use a flat mop system that utilizes less water to clean floors. Window and
CONSTRUCTION WASTE MANAGEMENT An extensive construction waste management plan was implemented during construction to minimize noise, dust, and runoff pollution. This resulted in 50% of all construction debris being diverted from landfills through recycling.

0 INTEGRATED BUILDING SYSTEMS The building envelope and systems design has resulted in a 23.5% reduction in energy costs compared to a similar building designed to current building and HVAC codes. Building skin components with high insulating and solar heat gain characteristics, coupled with a complete perimeter air seal system, manage heat gain and loss. NATURAL DAYLIGHTING The building orientation and exterior wall system design bring extensive natural light into circulation and waiting spaces, where it provides the greatest benefit to patients. Natural light is carefully managed by thoughtful space planning, and a system of mechanized shades controlled by light sensors. INDOOR ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY Emphasis was placed on indoor environmental quality including the direct exhaust of high volume copiers, bathrooms, and janitor closets; the use of low Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) products; and the implementation of UVA’s Green Clean Program. SITE LIGHTING Site lighting strategies meet the stringent security needs of the campus and are designed to reduce light pollution.

RECYCLED CONTENT Several rooms were identified for the use of “experimental” finishes with minimal environmental impact, including casework and counter surfaces fabricated from wheat board, recycled, and sustainably harvested forest products. NATIVE LOW-WATER LANDSCAPING A palette of local plant species minimizes the need for maintenance, irrigation, and creates natural habitat for local wildlife. CONSTRUCTION WASTE MANAGEMENT During construction, over 90% of the construction waste was diverted from the landfill / incineration. In addition, the building will be a part of UVA’s award-winning recycling program that diverts over 40% of materials campus wide. ALTERNATIVE TRANSPORTATION Extensive transit services, a centralized, interconnected parking system that supports ‘one stop’ parking to serve patient visits, a highly walkable environment with protected pedestrian connections, and a strong bicycling culture all contribute to a healthy, low-impact transportation environment.
