ABSTRACT
This 49,000-square-foot office building was completed in 2012 for a construction cost of $37.2 million. Designed to house the offices of the David and Lucile Packard Foundation, the building has operated as net positive energy since its first year of operation. The family foundation’s project goals included achieving net zero energy and LEED Platinum certification; creating a beautiful and healthy workspace that encourages collaboration; and integrating into and supporting the downtown Los Altos community. The Foundation has been located in Los Altos since 1954.
