The quest for sustainable buildings begins at the site selection stage, and although the West Wireless Health Institute (WWHI) is an interior renovation, its location provides several environmental benefits. WWHI has chosen 10350 North Torrey Pines Road in La Jolla, California as the San Diego base for its research to lower health care costs by accelerating the availability of wireless health solutions. The building is one of five that comprise the Torrey Pines Building complex. WWHI occupies the entire first, second and third floor of building 10350, and includes non-medical labs and offices that have been redesigned to aid the research activities of the facility.

The new Ronald McDonald House, located adjacent to Rady Children’s Hospital, creatively solves the problem of scarce and expensive land in San Diego’s hospital district. The 65,000-square-foot House and exterior courtyards have been constructed on top of an existing six-story parking structure and feature 47 rooms for families with seriously ill children receiving treatment at the hospital. By themselves, the new accommodations will be a major improvement over the existing House, which has only 12 rooms and has to turn away 100 families a month who need a place to stay while their children receive treatment at area hospitals. All parties associated with the project saw the opportunity to further help the community by making the building LEED (Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design) certified.

Architects Torti Gallas and Partners, in conjunction with Clark Realty Capital and Lincoln Properties, have created a 3,255 square foot community center located in China Lake Station, California. Nestled among 192 existing family homes, the center provides fitness facilities, park areas, and meeting rooms for individuals and families living in the adjacent military housing community. Designed to reflect the Spanish architecture historically found in California, the China Lake Community Center was designed and constructed to strict environmental building standards to achieve LEED Certification.
The China Lake community was originally constructed in 1944, with further development in 1964, to provide housing to military families serving Naval Air Weapons Station China Lake. Under the Navy’s 1996 Public Private Ventures program, the community is currently being revitalized to include the renovations of 192 single family housing units and supporting infrastructure on the site.
