社区文化: The San Mateo County Forensic Laboratory and Coroner's Office is a highly secure and technologically innovative laboratory facility designed to provide a superior workplace, flexibility to accommodate changing needs, and advanced resource efficiency. The facility houses eight distinct forensic laboratories and the coroner's office.
能源利用: Energy demand has been reduced over 50% relative to the stringent California Title 24 energy requirements, and renewable energy systems supply all non-HVAC energy requirements. The building also incorporates green building materials and an aggressive recycling plan diverted over 78% of construction waste from landfills. This project demonstrates that integrated, high-performance design can produce a better workplace while substantially reducing operating costs and significantly reducing reliance on the electricity grid.
室内环境品质: All regularly occupied areas of the building are daylit, and office areas have operable windows. The orientation of the building, large roof overhangs, north-facing clerestory windows, and canted windows on the southwest reduce glare while maximizing daylight.
