Jess S. Jackson Sustainable Winery

The 8,500-square-foot Jess S. Jackson Sustainable Winery Building (JSWB) is a design-build project for the University of California at Davis. It houses technologies that will support the adjacent Brewery and Winery Facility (BWF), allowing it to be the world’s first self-sustaining, net-zero water/carbon/energy teaching and research facility. It is expected to be the first building at any university to be certified Net Zero Energy under the Living Building Challenge. The technology it will hold includes water harvesting and filtration, carbon sequestration, fuel cells and others. Through a collaborative delivery process, the project was delivered at a final cost of 11% less than the original budget, including significant enhancements not deemed possible in the original scope.

El Cerrito Recycling Center

Pankow Builders and Noll & Tam met the challenge of a new Recycling Center in El Cerrito with a hybrid of Design Build and Integrated Project Delivery. Using this format, the project was able to develop a two acre multi-million dollar recycling facility in under one year. The project boasts net zero water use, net zero energy use, and innovative re-use of building materials. The project team also partnered with Zeta Communities to provide a high quality modular structure that furthers the team’s material, energy, water and cost goals in a way that site built construction could not.

The design-build team with extensive community input met El Cerrito’s environmental goals, commitment, and leadership in the design and construction of the new Center. The Center not only serves as a recycling drop-off location, but also as a living model of sustainable practices. 2 acre site; 2,000 SF; LEED Platinum Certified.

This project is one of the first large hospital projects using Lean Construction Delivery with a Fully Integrated Project Delivery Team. Pankow is a Core Team member and the Structural Concrete Trade Partner on this project. The general Contractor is Herrero Boldt.

CPMC/Sutter Health Cathedral Hill Hospital

Located in San Francisco on the cross streets of Van Ness Ave and Geary Street, the CPMC/Sutter hospital project is a new replacement hospital that houses both an Acute Care Center and a Women’s and Children’s Center. This project is one of the first OSHPD projects to use a Lean Construction delivery process and a Phased OSHPD Submittal Process to accelerate and improve the agency approval process. The team is using 3-D modeling programs with an integrated project delivery team, to fully coordinate all components and systems into the building to allow construction to take place with minimum disruption caused by constructability issues. The Target Value Design process has driven down overall projected project costs by >18%.

CPMC Van Ness Medical Office Building

Located in San Francisco on the cross streets of Van Ness Ave and Geary Street, the CPMC/Sutter Van Ness Medical Office Project is a new MOB that will house both CPMC departments and private physicians. This project is one of the first OSHPD 3 projects to use a Lean Construction delivery process to create a truly collaborative team approach. Currently in the design and preconstruction phase, the team is using 3-D building information modeling programs to fully coordinate all design disciplines which will translate into a construction phase with efficient flow and minimized constructability issues.

Bishop O’Dowd High School Center for Environmental Studies

This new “living lab” is located on the north hillside of the campus overlooking stunning views of the Bay. The Center features two large indoor laboratory classrooms and a single large covered outdoor classroom; ample space for study, experimentation, research and group gatherings; office, restroom and storage facilities; a mobile kitchen, pizza oven/barbecue and fire circle; and a greenhouse. Designed to maximize natural lighting and ventilation while being extremely energy efficient, the building offers the flexibility of an indoor/outdoor learning environment. North-facing walls will open out into the adjacent tree-covered hillside and the west facing wall onto the large open terrace; LEED Platinum Certified.

270 Brannon

The proposed project includes the demolition of an existing parking lot and two story concrete structures and the construction of a new concrete replacement building. The 202,103SF, 5-and-6-story, Class A office space will also include 1-story of below grade parking. The building will be arranged around a central courtyard, which splits the building into two masses connected by the core. The courtyard features a signature open glass rooftop canopy and outdoor seating with landscaping that will include a water feature and living greenery plant wall.

 

Kaiser Cerritos Medical Office Building

Pankow and its design partners successfully renovated a quality healthcare facility for Kaiser’s community-at-large in Cerritos, California. With spacious interiors and abundant natural light, this two-story, 50,000-square-foot medical office building now offers 33 provider offices including Adult Primary Care, Pediatrics, and Obstetrics/Gynecology as well as ancillary support including pharmacy, blood draw, and general radiology – all with convenient underground parking. The team was thrilled to serve Kaiser on this exciting project. Striving to add value, from conception to completion, the project teams goals were consistently aligned with Kaiser’s mission “to provide affordable, high quality healthcare services and to improve the health of our members and the communities we serve. With a variety of healthcare teams now under one roof, members who live and work in Cerritos now have greater ease and accessibility to high quality care so they can live well and thrive.
