San Francisco has a new icon thanks to the Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy and the National Park Service. Project FROG's latest smart building is located on the beautiful San Francisco waterfront at Crissy Field’s East Beach. The new interim home for Crissy Field Center demonstrates model practices in sustainability which further advances their environmental education programs for local youth. With LEED Gold certification underway, the 7,500 sf state-of-the-art facility will be one of the most technologically-advanced, energy-efficient buildings in existence and will adhere to the most stringent green certification standards. The Center features high-performance classrooms, a science lab, an art room, administrative space as well as a cafe.

Tour led by Mark Miller, AIA, LEED AP of Project FROG and MKThink and Rayna Deniord of CMG Landscape Architecture.
