Re: Our Advanced Manufacturing, PDR and Industrial Capabilities
Dear Douglas,
Thanks for the call today. We would happy to partner with you on some advanced manufacturing work.
As you know, we were instrumental in partnering with the City and developers to shape the PDR legislation transforming the Southeast corner of San Francisco. I would love to apply everything we learned on our production, distrubtion and repair (PDR) and recent advanced manufacturing projects to help you.
We have included several recent PDR and manufacturing projects for your review. Our manufacturing experience also includes:
• Mycoworks: We worked with a company in Emeryville to deliver a first of its kind manufacturing facility to produce high quality leather from Mycelium. This involved designing for the flow of goods, from arrival of raw materials on the site, through the manufacturing process which involved clean rooms, and through final preparation, to packaging and staging for shipping.
• Micro Solar Manufacturing: Perkins&Will also recently worked for a confidential company in the South Bay using German robots to facilitate the operation of their advanced manufacturing system. Again, we worked with the client and their technology partners in planning and designing for the manufacturing process and over flow of materials and final product on the site.
• Low Carbon Panels: We have also been working with a confidential company in Northern California to develop a low carbon alternative to fire safe building skin panels. This involves a new process and machines that transform waste cellulose into a malleable building product. Again the movement of raw materials and the provision for the layout of the manufacturing process are key considerations in the design.
Once you have reviewed our relevant work, feel free to give me a call to set up a time to discuss. Let me know if you have any questions and I look forward to continuing the conversation.

Industrial Spaces
Production, Distribution & Repair (PDR), Light Industrial and Advanced Manufacturing
PDR, light industrial and advanced manufacturing are a critical part of the Bay Area ecosystem. These spaces capture the spirit of the creative process and the ethos of making. They adapt to the needs of creative people and are, by definition, more raw and straightforward spaces.
PDR light industrial and advanced manufacturing developments make manufacturing a vital part of an active dense neighborhood, creating affordable opportunities for makers/ artists to connect with local shops, restaurants, and the customer base of local residents and office workers.
