Project Description:

The MSI New Headquarters project is intended to be a NetZero Energy and LEED Gold Certified new building designed as an infill building on an existing industrial site. The building strives to respond to the climate and surrounding environment, while allowing for opportunities to add green space to what is currently all paved parking lot. The building will connect to an existing distribution warehouse, and convert the concrete courtyard between the two existing buildings onsite to a welcome oasis, complete with water feature to over evaporative cooling benefits and a space for biophilia where employees can recharge. The new building will work with the Southern California climate and respond to the surrounding environment by means of exterior sun shading devices, high-performance glass, proper solar orientation, and shading of the building by solar photovoltaic panels.

The MSI New Headquarters project exemplifies sustainable design by achieving NetZero Energy and targeting LEED Gold Certification. It integrates extensive rooftop solar arrays, high-performance building materials, and advanced HVAC systems to ensure energy efficiency and occupant comfort. The design includes biophilic elements such as green spaces and a central courtyard, enhancing employee well-being and fostering a connection to nature.
Key sustainability features include:
Energy Conservation: Solar shading, high-performance glass, and energy storage systems reduce energy demand and provide backup power.
Air Quality and Comfort: Automated ventilation, high-efficiency filtration, and low/no VOC materials ensure a healthy indoor environment.
Water Management: Permeable green spaces and stormwater retention systems reduce runoff and support aquifer recharge.
Community Impact: The infill development preserves open space, and native landscaping mitigates the urban heat island effect.
The project not only conserves energy and protects occupants during extreme conditions but also creates a healthier, more productive workplace. MSI’s commitment to sustainability, innovation, and community impact is showcased through this thoughtfully designed headquarters, setting a new standard for sustainable development.
