Founded in 1942, ZGF Architects LLP consistently delivers large, innovative projects in the health care, higher education and government sectors in California. The firm’s designs embrace the state’s commitment to sustainability and often accommodate multiple purposes within a single structure.

“We do not have a specific architectural style. Instead, our work is anchored by our approach to each and every project,” says Ted Hyman, ZGF managing partner.

One example is theWarren J. Baker Center for Science and Mathematics at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, completed in 2013. ZGF designed 208,608 sq ft of flexible space for three academic departments and three research institutes. The LEED Gold building includes hydronic chilled beam heating and cooling in laboratories—the first time chilled beams were used in a teaching laboratory in California. The ZGF team also had to work around 114 laboratory fume hoods.

“（ZGF）聆听并提出问题，以确保他们了解我们的愿景，价值观和目标，” Cal Poly Slo的Frost Endowment总监Phil Bailey说。“他们带来了创新的想法，并带来了建造最好的建筑所需的顾问。”

贝利说，学校的最初目标是为该中心实现LEED银，但ZGF知道他们可以做得更好。“尽管他们必须处理的（高能耗尽）的通风罩数量，而且该州没有为屋顶提供太阳能电池板的事实，但ZGF仍然能够设计一座经过认证的LEED黄金建筑，”他说。

这家600人的公司在洛杉矶雇用103家，在俄勒冈州波特兰，西雅图，华盛顿特区，纽约和温哥华的其他办事处。ZGF目前在加利福尼亚州的设计或建设中有40多个项目，加利福尼18luck官网亚州的项目产生了该公司总收入的三分之一以上。这些项目总计超过500万平方英尺18luck官网，价值超过15亿美元。

ZGF最近完成的项目包括圣地亚哥的Altman临床18luck官网和翻译研究所，该研究所旨在在具有50英尺级变化的环境敏感地点容纳四个不同的群体。另一个ZGF项目，圣何塞的圣塔克拉拉家庭司法中心，需要三个单独的循环模式和指定区域。

“Our workload remains very strong, due in part to the diversity of our client base,” Hyman says. “With California’s leadership in sustainability, our experience designing high-performance and net-zero energy buildings has put us in a great position to bring value to clients facing the increasingly stringent code changes in the state.”

ZGF’s most significant current projects in the Golden State include the $368-million California Air Resources Board (CARB) headquarters in Riverside; the $274-million 1215 O St. building in Sacramento; and Stanford University’s Redwood City campus.

Carb项目仍在设计中，预计将于今年秋天破土动工，将容纳该机构的400多名员工。ZGF合作伙伴Braulio Baptista表示，该建筑将是世界上最大，最先进的排放测试和研究设施之一，也是同类产品中最大的真正净能源设施。

另一个对环保的ZGF项目是1215 O St.，该项目为加利福尼亚州一般服务部设计。该结构计划于今年夏天破土动工，是设计和靶向LEED铂的净零能量。ZGF合作伙伴Allyn Stellmacher表示，它将使用萨克拉曼多公用事业区（Sacramento Utilility District）的异地太阳能（Allyn Stellmacher）说，屋顶上的太阳能电池板的水比相似大小的办公楼要少60％。

ZGF采用d的城市规划经验esign Stanford University’s first satellite campus in Redwood City. The project sits on 34 acres and features 13 buildings across 3,200,000 sq ft. Phase 1 is slated to open in early 2019. Campus designs hark back to the university’s main campus in Palo Alto, with French limestone and terra-cotta building cladding.

Another of ZGF’s current projects is the $51-million LA BioMed facility on the Harbor-UCLA Medical Center Campus in Torrance, Calif. Under construction with a February 2019 completion date, the 77,800-sq-ft research building will house offices as well as a data center, freezer farm and laboratories.

Abel Gonzalez, Southern California business unit leader for DPR Construction, the general contractor on LA BioMed, describes ZGF’s leadership and project teams as collaborative, trusting partners. Gonzalez also worked with the firm on the Children’s Hospital Los Angeles’ new pediatrics tower in the mid-2000s.

冈萨雷斯说，ZGF总是表现出“在与我们和其他人合作的同时为该项目找到正确的解决方案时，始终表现出“巨大的完整性和性格”。
