San Mateo Public Library

Pankow built the 90,000 SF library to achieve LEED Silver Certification. Primary green elements included raised access floor for high efficiency fans and underfloor air supply to reduce energy consumption. 90% of the construction debris was recycled and dirt from the excavation was re-used in a neighborhood park.
