The new Academy of Sciences building in San Francisco (currently under construction) utilized Integrated Practice techniques to improve the mechanical, electrical, plumbing and life-support systems coordination during construction of this complex building. Anchored by a 125,000- square-foot roof in the form of an undulating hillscape supporting California vegetation, this project will seek LEED platinum certification. The jury commented: this remarkable project pre-visioned the birth of Integrated Practice and is remarkable for its leadership in this emerging field.
