As one of the taller buildings on the Downtown Sacramento grid, the new Department of General Services Natural Resources Headquarters is a high-rise landmark that serves as a major addition to the State of California’s facilities portfolio. This new modern structure is 21 stories plus basement and 838,000 SF. It is constructed to house approximately 3,450 employees and consists of staff from eight State Departments. The cutting-edge headquarters includes assembly and meeting space, storage, parking, retail, a childcare facility, and commercial food service space. Buehler utilized Performance-Based Design of the Lateral Force Resisting System to assist in achieving cost savings for the owner while meeting code equivalency for a safe and resilient structure.
