Hillside Administration and Commons Building

The project involved the complete construction of a 2-story Administration building, approximately 11,000 gross square feet, featuring offices, common area rooms, and upper-level apartments designed to meet the criteria of Living Building Certification. The project aimed to embody environmentally sustainable strategies holistically throughout the design. This included quantifying net-zero energy performance post-occupancy and achieving Platinum certification under USGBC’s LEEDv4 for new construction. Additionally, the project sought certification under the International Living Institute’s Living Building Challenge program, version 3.1.
