Lawrence
Berkeley National Lab Helios Energy Research Facility,
Berkeley, California
Helios research will concentrate on developing transportation
fuel from biomass or from solar energy driven electrochemistry.
It will also target solar technologies, including a new generation
of solar photovoltaic cells, and the conversion of electricity into
chemical storage to meet future demand. The facility will be a model
of “green” construction and the project will seek to
include alternative energy sources such as solar and wind for the
building's power. |

UC
Berkeley Stanley Hall Replacement, Berkeley, California
The 240,000 sf building, located near a major fault, includes
below-ground, vibration-free facilities for research in: the chemistry
of advanced instruments, optical benches, nanotechnology and materials
science. The upper floors contain labs for a variety of other scientific
disciplines. Rutherford & Chekene was structural engineer for
the project.

EmeryStation
East Laboratory, Emeryville, California
R&C provided structural engineering services for the Wareham
Development laboratory. The building contains 235,000 sf of laboratory
and office space, 170,000 sf of structured parking beneath and 15,000
sf of amenities. The project was highly cost- and schedule- driven
and was delivered through a collaborative process with developer,
contractor and design team.

The
J. David Gladstone Institutes, San Francisco, California
The Institute is a nonprofit basic research organization in
cardiovascular disease, virology, immunology, and neurological disease.
The new $70 million laboratory was the first non-UCSF building constructed
on the Mission Bay site. Rutherford & Chekene provided structural
engineering and geotechnical peer review to the design team. |

UC
Merced Science & Engineering Building, Merced, California
The 165,000 sf building is one of four major projects comprising
the first phase of the new campus. The building provides faculty
office and laboratory space, class laboratories, a small-animal
vivarium, and offices for two of the three academic divisions at
the campus—Engineering and Natural Science.
