The County’s First Zero Net Energy Building
Turner & AC Martin Partners, Inc provided Design-Build services for the 149,000 sf, two story steel-framed building. The Placer County Health & Human Services Center stands as a beacon of innovation, sustainability, and community engagement. This facility spans 142,000 sf and proudly claims the title of the County’s first Zero-Net-Energy building, designed to generate as much electricity as it consumes annually. Designed with versatility and functionality in mind, the center features a conference center with spacious meeting areas, training spaces, and designated play areas for children. Additionally, the facility offers employment centers, computer access areas, open office spaces, indoor and outdoor patio and break areas, and a two-story open space called “Collaboration Street.” This unique design feature encourages integration and collaboration among program teams, enhancing the overall effectiveness of the center.
Promoting Integration & Collaboration
The facility aims to achieve an important objective by bringing together the six previously fragmented divisions into one building. This consolidation intends to foster collaboration and integration among the divisions, resulting in improved support for Placer County residents. The consolidation of these divisions under one roof offers a convenient one-stop center for Placer County residents to access the services they need. The building also includes a conference center with spacious meeting areas, both large and small, and training spaces at the west side of the building for use by county and community partners. There is also a designated play area for children, an employment center, computer access areas, open office spaces, indoor and outdoor patio and break areas, and a two-story open space called “Collaboration Street.
