Burnham’s San Diego campus at 10900 N. Torrey Pines Road consists of 9 buildings, including a central mechanical building and a parking structure. Five of the nine buildings, comprising 89% of the total enclosed square footage, are laboratory buildings. The facilities were constructed in three stages beginning in 1975, added to in 1994, and completed during year 2000.
In 2008 Burnham decided to pursue LEED for Existing Buildings: Operations and Maintenance on their San Diego Campus. Within this Rating System projects are evaluated and certified by the US Green Building Council (USGBC). For evaluation, LEED uses six environmental categories: Sustainable Sites, Water Efficiency, Energy & Atmosphere, Materials & Resources, Indoor Environmental Quality, and Innovation in Design. In December of 2009, the San Diego Campus achieved the Certified level within the LEED-EB Operations and Maintenance Rating System.

The City of Vista Fire Station No. 6 is located at 651 E. Vista Way, between Escondido Ave and Franklin Lane. The site work provides preferred parking for low emitting and fuel efficient vehicles, reduces heat island effect, reduces stormwater runoff, and treats stormwater with bioswales and pervious concrete. High efficiency irrigation systems, drought tolerant plants, and low flow water fixtures helps save over 167,000 gallons of water annually. Low emitting and recycled content materials were specified and almost 80% of construction waste was diverted from the landfill. The 11,300 square foot station houses three drive-through apparatus bays, 9 bunk rooms, Training Room, Administrative offices, turnout lockers, laundry facilities, hose storage, and a workshop. Exterior site elements include an emergency generator, fueling facilities, and a hose-drying area.
