A unique Design Build approach of an "assigned" Architect to the Design Builder Team resulted in a successful collaborative award winning LEED Platinum Project.  The Project was recently Awarded at the 2012 National Conference the DBIA National Award for "Best Overall Design Build Project". 

Led by the Project Team Members: Clark Design Build, Dreyfuss & Blackford, Buehler & Buehler, Frank M. Booth Design Build, WSP Flack + Kurtz, and Vanir, this presentation will discuss the design-build delivery aspects that resulted in the early completion of the California ISO Facility with a focus on team structure and relationships along with innovative techniques employed to deliver this critical facility that exceeded the Owner's expectations.  California ISO's new 278,000 sqft headquarters in Folsom is comprised of three distinct wings each created with a different structural system.  The building's two story public wing features glass and metal panels wrapped around a structural steel frame.  This wing houses a main lobby, as well as training rooms, a cafeteria, and support facilities.  The mission critical wing supports California ISO's essential services, including a 60,000 sq ft data center, mechanical and electrical utility services.  This wing has a structural steel frame wrapped in precast concrete.  The three-story office wing was created for the organization's more than 500 employees.  The open office environment is surrounded by exposed structural precast concrete with a glass and metal facade.
