We couldn’t be prouder to announce that the Resnick Sustainability Resource Center at Caltech has won the Building Team of the Year award from The American Institute of Architects Los Angeles (AIA|LA)! This award celebrates projects that make a significant impact on the city and its community, highlighting the strong collaboration among ResnickInstitute, Caltech, HenselPhelps, Yazdani StudioofCannonDesign , Saiful Bouquet Structural Engineers, and other design and construction partners. As the structural engineer, Saiful Bouquet is honored to have played a key role in this 80,000 SF, 4-story energy and sustainability research hub— the greenest building on Caltech’s campus, poised to be a beacon of sustainable innovation in California.
This is Southern California’s first hybrid concrete–mass timber vibration-sensitive research lab construction! Saiful Bouquet used concrete structure for the state-of-the-art lab area supporting cutting edge research with strict vibration limits (2,000 mips) and used mass timber framing for external circulation area and for support of the unique glass façade, blending visual warmth with sustainable design.
