The firm provided services for this extensive change-use project, a retrofit of the original Levi Strauss building that transformed it from factory to an 80,000 SF K-8 school. Built in 1906, the factory required substantial updates, but the historical integrity of the building was retained. This 3-story structure includes a cafeteria, classrooms, admin spaces, a library, a gym, and a theater. Notable sustainable features include four thermal towers and a radiant heating system, both controlled by a BMS. The project achieved LEED Silver
