The Lawson Lane Campus, located at Central Expressway and San Tomas
in Santa Clara, is the development of three new office buildings
totaling 516,000 square feet; the project includes two naturally
ventilated parking garages. It is being developed by Sobrato Development
Companies. The buildings will incorporate sustainable features throughout
and be designed to achieve a minimum LEED Silver certification.
Proposed design features include: a network of bio-swales designed
to help control water runoff, vertical translucent glass sunshades
integrated into the building façade to allow the maximum
amount of daylight while controlling glare, photovoltaic panels
integrated into a garage trellis structure, the reuse of site demolition
materials in the building construction, and the provision of water-conserving
bathroom fixtures and native, drought-tolerant plantings.
