CalPERS Headquarters
Under Hensel Phelps Construction Company, Alliance Roofing was selected to install roofing and waterproofing for the newly constructed California Public Employees Retirement System (CalPERS)
The building features several outdoor terraces, waterproofed with a hot rubber membrane, allowing and offering occupants access to a lush landscape complete with grass, trees, and flowers.
Drawing on regional Arts & Crafts and Japanese architectural traditions, the facade design is marked by a layered pattern of horizontal and vertical shading projections, light shelves, floor to ceiling clear glass, and integrated planters. It maximizes daylight while minimizing solar gain, as do the buildings’ orientation and massing.
