XL Construction led the world’s largest Living Building Challenge project – a 255,000 s.f. structural upgrade and tenant improvement of an existing warm shell building to house 1,200 Google Cloud employees. Built to LEED Platinum standards, XL brought its advanced sustainability expertise to bear with a wide range of elements, including installations of photovoltaics on the new parking garage and battery storage systems, resulting in a net zero energy facility. XL also implemented an integral rainwater collection system, conserving water in a 35,000 gallon tank for reuse. The scope included extensive seismic upgrades and a two-story oval courtyard with curved stairwell, dubbed the “Oculus,” constructed in the middle of the existing building. XL also built a 25,000 s.f. café, open offices, several micro kitchens, amenity and production areas, a snail-shaped mystery room/bar, outdoor decks, and sports courts.
