The project team squeezed two buildings totaling 88,000 sq ft, parking spaces big enough for tour buses and routes for delivery truck circulation into a very tight, eight-acre site for this probiotic dairy beverage maker's first U.S. plant.
The 1936 Beaux-Arts office building in San Francisco's Civic Center National Historic Landmark District was vacated in 2007 due to seismic deficiencies.

Seismic upgrades were performed and all major building systems were replaced on a 1920s-era, 26-story tower—one of the tallest buildings of its time on the West Coast.
The fast-tracked design-build project became the first social infrastructure project in the U.S. procured under the principles of performance-based infrastructure (PBI) contracting, which uses a public-private partnership not only to fund design and construction but also to provide long-term operations and maintenance.
As a leader in genomic research and the study of climate change, the institute set out to build the most ambitious sustainably designed biological research laboratory in the world.
