California Department of Education Headquarters

The California Department of Education Headquarters (CDEH),[1] known also as Block 225, is a component of the Capitol Area East End Complex in Sacramento, CA.[2] The building achieved a LEED Silver rating in 1999, and later achieved LEED Gold in 2003, only the second LEED Gold building in California at the time. Following a further cultivation in operations and maintenance, the building eventually achieved a LEED EB Platinum rating, the second largest EB Platinum rating in the world.[3]

Design

Taking the fast track under design-build — the first design-build office building in California’s history — Block 225 finished 10 months ahead of the class schedule. Designed by Curtis W. Fentress, FAIA, RIBA of Fentress Architects, the CDEH/Block 225 consolidated the headquarters of the Department of Education, which formerly occupied several facilities located throughout Sacramento. The six-story, 461,000-gross-square-foot building houses offices for the state employees and a nonprofit childcare facility, for a total of about 1,350 occupants.

The building is the largest office campus ever undertaken by the California Department of General Services. As a result of its extraordinary green qualities and its successful design-build delivery, it has become a benchmark for all future California public projects in this complex and around the State.

gollark: > I'm a dedicated member of the esolangs esocommunity - even if I only made three esolangs and they are mostly joke languages and not very good, I am pretty actively on the discord and contribute* to conversations. I would NOT do the problematic stuff you do such as randomly removing roles people liked, randomly muting and/or kicking people, generally punishing people excessively for small things, insulting people (e.g. telling them to kill themselves) for having different food preferences, breaking bots for ages, or deleting 2000 messages [DATA EXPUNGED], a mere orthographic projection of your badness.> Also, I want the nice staff color and want Nobody/Palaiologos (how do you SPELL THAT) to stop doxxing people. Additionally, I have many innovations I'd like to bring to the server, such as a dodecahedron emoji, and can help develop some of them because I am somewhat okay at bot development, if not graphic design.
gollark: Anyway, I do still need suggestions for improving my application.
gollark: Also, anyone can trigger an election at any time for any reason.
gollark: It alternates between both of those every election.
gollark: A democratically elected council except only bots can vote.
