当入围的承包商为他们抵达terviews for the job, they had their first inklings of the unconventional project that might lie ahead. At the start of each interview, the bidder was told to toss aside PDFs and prepared speeches. Instead, each contender put together a schedule and budget on the spot as the selection panel from Google observed how each team’s members worked, says Antonelli.

他补充说：“您可以立即告诉准备互动的[竞争者]。”“在那时，惠廷·特纳（Whiting Turner）是合适的团队：他们聚在一起的方式，他们的交流方式，提出问题并提供了反馈。”

两座办公楼总共有120万平方英尺，一个1000个座位的活动中心和240个单位可容纳Google员工，再加上一个停车场，Bay View采用了许多超级可持续的策略，包括水回收，新开发的太阳能电池板和一个of the world’s largest geothermal systems.

该项目还需要罕见的建筑壮举。例如，为了创建独特的，清扫的屋顶檐篷，覆盖了两座内部空间的四个以上足球场，这两座办公楼中最大的建筑物（与分开的120英尺相距120英尺）预先制造了结构性钢托架，然后将其预制到模块中网站。船员将模块在地面上连接到长山桁架，然后使用链插孔将组件抬高到位。

The largest, record-breaking roof lift—12 bays of prefab framing connected by 32 trusses totalling more than 180,000 sq ft of roof structure and weighing 2,600 tons—required 42 individual strand jacks synchronized atop 21 columns. The motivation for the operation, which took about 36 hours, was to get interior work going as soon as possible.

预组成的组件超出了钢结构。在主要建筑物中，工人安装了在德克萨斯州建造和检查的模块化电气室，并运往现场。此外，所有240个模块化的住宅豆荚（直到毛巾杆和水龙头）都在海湾上进行了预制，移至现场并安装在适当的位置。

从一开始，总体策略的一部分是使用其创新的结构来采用大型建筑，并将其分解为更易于管理的组成部分。“我们一直在寻找预制和模块化的机会”，以提高效率，工作地点安全和质量。其他的项目。新利18备用网址

旋转熟悉的话：“你怎么吃大象？一次咬人，”她打趣道，“您如何建立海湾景观？一次一次。”

谷歌的总体目标是建立健康的一个d inviting work environments through biophilic design, connecting occupants to nature by taking into account natural light, indoor air quality and thermal comfort, says Kate Turpin, Google’s director of design performance.

There are two levels of work stations and circulation spaces under a broad canopy. The workspaces are formed using the proprietary ConXtech—a bolted framing system for interiors that is independent of the building’s shell. The standalone system allows Google to reconfigure or repurpose the fitout of the entire tent-like building.

To maximize daylighting, designers did extensive modeling to track sunlight penetration from clerestory windows. Automated shades control glare on computer screens. Acoustic modeling to limit noise reflection informed the placement of certain fixed and moveable elements that act as sound barriers, including prefabbed bathroom units and seating areas.

The campus offers ample space for circulation, casual discussions, teamwork environments and spaces to eat and relax.

The first level serves primarily as circulation and meeting spaces, and includes 22 building-height covered courtyards that penetrate the second level. Each has custom theming and artwork inspired by the annual Burning Man event, which serves both as placemaking and wayfinding in the maze-like space, says Jeffrey Curry, director of construction process controls.

为了提高热舒适度的同时，同时还可以降低能源的使用情况，该校园具有100％的外室外系统，并在第一级上设有高架位移通风，并补充了周边区域中的辐射系统，以及第二层的地下空气分布。

热恢复冷水机会在空气中调节。该系统链接到Google所说的是北美最大的地热堆安装。该小组看到了一个机会，可以同时安装闭环管道，通过该基金会的大约4,000个桩，大约80英尺深，以利用建筑物下方的热质量。Google能源和碳总监Asim Tahir说，该系统的性能像热电池一样，在夏季将热量储存在地面上，并在冬季提取热量。它还消除了除了高峰时期，除了在高峰时期外，还需要运行冷却塔。

The design team estimates the system will reduce operational carbon by almost 50% and water used for cooling by 90%.

The distinctive roof design serves multiple functions, including collecting stormwater for nonpotable uses. The water is stored in collection ponds and then drawn down, treated and combined with building wastewater treated at an onsite plant, also for nonpotable uses, to provide a net-positive water system. The facility is targeting Water Petal certification of the International Living Future Institute’s Living Building Challenge (LBC). If successful, it will be the largest structure to attain the petal, says Google. Last month, the project received LEED-NC v4 Platinum certification, the largest project to receive the certification, Lin says.

独特的类似壳的屋顶形状还提高了大约50,000个“龙”太阳能电池板的发电效率，Google与瑞士供应商共同开发。通常会反映出传统平板板的独特质感，棱柱形板捕获阳光。类似装甲的面板互锁并覆盖了大部分屋顶，以产生大约40％的建筑物年度力量。当太阳能产量的4 MW与附近风电场的电力结合使用时，全电动校园的无碳能源为90％。

实际上，在施工中使用的每种材料都经过严格的质量控制评论，该评论也遵循了LBC的红色列表要求。林说：“我们不仅为材料的组成部分和构成，而且在制造过程中审查了约3,950种材料，无论它们是否产生任何有害的副产品。”“这都是考虑到的。”

咖喱补充说，验证天气，密封剂和填缝是兽医的最具挑战性的类别。

Built as much to serve occupants as to prototype and test sustainable building solutions, Google is spinning lessons learned at Bay View forward to its adjacent Charleston East campus currently under construction and to other facilities around the Bay Area, including Caribbean, a five-story office building with a sloping green roof, planned for Sunnyvale. These strategies will further Google’s goal to replenish 120% of the water it consumes by 2030 and to operate 24/7 on carbon-free energy worldwide, also by 2030.

林说：“我们是非凡的事情的一部分……千载难逢的机会做更大的事情。”“我们知道我们正在努力帮助Google在多个方面实现创新，这确实使建立了一支致力于Google推动行业界限的团队。”
