David and Lucile Packard Foundation Sustainability Matrix

Information

Location Los Altos, California
Size 90,000 SF
Completion 2003
Services Sustainability

The Sustainability Report & Matrix was BNIM’s response to setting sustainability goals for a proposed headquarters for the David & Lucile Packard Foundation. Six levels of design were measured: the Market Building; LEED Certified; LEED Silver; LEED Gold; LEED Platinum; and the Living Building. This tool, which can evolve with new technologies and the variables of each given context, reflects the need for a new design approach. It explains the financial cost of sustainable strategies and the environmental and societal costs of not doing so. It helps the construction industry view the global perspective clearly and be confident in sustainable choices.

Client

The David and Lucile Packard Foundation

BOSTI Associates collaborated closely with BNIM Architects in workplace analysis for the Packard Foundation (2001). BNIM was an exceptional partner: gracious, collegial, open-minded, responsive, and thorough. This was a complex project with multiple stakeholders, consultants, architectural and community issues. BNIM was able to integrate the team and client leaders in a participatory process, keeping everyone focused on the Foundation’s goals and values while honoring multiple perspectives.

Ellen Keable, Vice President, BOSTI Associates

Working with BNIM has been a journey of discovery for both our organizations. Our values as an Institution belong to the vernacular of sustainability in its many facets. At the beginning, we had extremely similar values but we did not know where our vision would take us. Together, we managed to clarify the sustainable goals we wanted to attain, and transpose them into a coherent system. Our hope is that the work BNIM Architects produced may also help others realize their aspirations for the creation of healthy communities nationwide.

Upon seeing this, the only responsible thing I can do is instruct you to make the greenest building possible.

Dick Schlosberg, Former President, The David & Lucile Packard Foundation
