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.
Standing over 800 feet tall and with 58 stories, 181 Fremont offers breathtaking, uninterrupted views of San Francisco Bay and its urban waterfront. This distinctive mixed-use high-rise has 432,000 square feet of office space as well as 74 ultra-luxury residences on the top 15 floors of the tower. The building’s unique exoskeleton structural system provides column-free interiors to maximize flexibility when planning spaces and an enhanced skyline that will add a...
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 775,000 square foot Moscone West was engineered to meet stringent seismic standards. A unique coupled-girder system is designed to minimize structural damage in the event of an earthquake up to 8.2 magnitude. This works together with a system of 248 friction dampers that dissipate seismic energy. Despite the need for very heavy floor loadings in a vertical structure, column placement on the third floor was minimized to provide 210 foot clear spans for the nearly...
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.
