Science Building 1313 PARK BOULEVARD | SAN DIEGO, CA 92101-4787 | 619.388.3400 | WWW.SDCITY.EDU
The exterior is comprised of a fiber cement panel ‘rainscreen’ system which provides a waterproof membrane behind open joints. The gap allows for the circulation of air across the vapor barrier. Light shelves harvest daylight which reduces energy demands from artificial lighting, and helps to reduce eyestrain and increase productivity. All windows utilize ‘high performance’ glass that allows sunlight to filter into the building, but reduces the amount of UV light and solar heat entering the building.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION The City College Science Building will be a four-story, L-shaped building providing 98,000 gross square feet of new construction for the Life Sciences and Physical Sciences programs. The building will include new classrooms, labs and state-of-the-art technology, a teaching garden, a rooftop observation deck and a planetarium. The project is on track to obtain a Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Gold certification by the U.S. Green Building Council.
SPECIAL FEATURES Sunshade devices are used on the south elevation to reduce solar heat gain and glare.
All walls and roof areas are highly insulated, helping to conserve energy resources and making the building more comfortable by maintaining a healthy and uniform temperature. The landscape materials will include native and drought tolerant plants.
