'Livable Buildings Awards' from Berkeley Honor 2 College Structures
The University of California at Berkeley’s Center for the Built Environment has included two college buildings among the three winners of its first Livable Buildings Awards.
The two campus winners are the Kirsch Center for Environmental Studies (right), at De Anza College of the Foothill-De Anza Community College District, and Stanford University’s Global Ecology Research Center, which houses research programs of the Carnegie Institution of Washington. The third winner is a building for the Chesapeake Bay Foundation in Annapolis, Md.
The winning buildings were chosen from among 10 structures that scored highest on the Center for the Built Environment’s Occupant Indoor Environmental Quality Survey, which asks building users to rate thermal comfort, air quality, lighting, acoustics, cleanliness, layout, and office furnishings. Also among the finalists was the University of California at Santa Barbara’s Donald Bren Hall.
