Hargreaves Associates - News - New Commissions
SAN FRANCISCO STATE UNIVERSITY CREATIVE ARTS CENTER
The Hargreaves Associates team, lead by Michael Maltzan Architecture, has been awarded the contract to design the new San Francisco State University Arts Center. The Creative Arts Center is a landmark project for the University, to be a home to SF State’s programs in broadcast and electronic communication arts, music and dance, and theatre arts. The building and site will be a forum for collaboration and a highly visible addition to the campus. As the first site designed under the University’s new campus master plan, the Creative Arts Center is key to establishing the organizing framework of the campus and should set a new standard for responsive and sustainable design.
UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, BERKELEY BOALT HALL SCHOOL OF LAW
Hargreaves Associates, with Ratcliff Architecture, has been awarded the contract to design the west terrace and enhance the west entry to improve the public image of the Law School. This project also allows the School to contribute to the improvement of an important open space, the College Avenue plaza. The new building and site will create a plaza or terrace at the main entrance to serve as a casual gathering place for its users, and will feature roof forms that accommodate passive and active solar energy devices and/or green roof structures as elements integral to the building architecture.
