The David Brower Complex will be a model of integrated sustainable design. This mixed use urban project features office space for non-profit organizations engaging in ecologically beneficial work, a conference center, a restaurant, subsidized housing and retail space, over underground parking. The David Brower Center itself is being designed to achieve a Platinum rating from the USGBC. The building will incorporate natural ventilation, sophisticated natural day-lighting strategies, photo-voltaic panels, and rainwater collection. The building's lateral system embodies Tipping Mar's philosophy of integrating sustainable design and high-performance seismic engineering. The system uses post-tension cables in ductile shear-walls and moment frames to create a damage resistant structure with restoring force characteristics. Architect: Solomon ETC, A WRT Company
