Key speciality contractors from design and construction were integrated into the project very early on, which resulted in a more efficient design that both reduced cost and accelerated the schedule. The structural steel was fabricated and erected $7.2 million under budget and 6 weeks ahead of schedule. The erection was completed with zero change orders and one quarter of the typical number of RFI's.
The Red Building consists of two towers that together contain 400,000 square feet built above a seven-story parking garage. The East Tower rises 16 stories and the West Tower tops out at the 14th floor. The geometry and the 120’ cantilever near San Vicente Boulevard added to the complexity of the steel erection.
The new facility includes 24 courtrooms and 32 justice chambers. Herrick was responsible for designing the temporary shoring system that supported “the cube” during construction. The building is designed to achieve LEED Platinum certification, due to such innovations as the serrated facade, which maximizes views from the interior and cuts down on up to 50% of heat generated from solar rays.
The Nokia Theater is a music and theatre venue seating 7,100. Herrick fabricated and erected the structural roof system that consists of 180’ long span steel trusses and associated framing. The structural steel was fabricated and erected on time and within budget.
This 424,000 square foot four-story building is the new terminal for international arrivals. The $1.27 billion project, dubbed “The Big Build”, was the largest capital improvement program in the history of Sacramento County. The design allows natural light to stream through a weave of structural steel, recreating the canopy effect common along Sacramento's tree-lined streets. The building is designed to achieve LEED Platinum certification.
