We're thrilled and honored to announce that the Hayward Library and Community Learning Center has won an AIA COTE Top Ten Award for sustainable design excellence! 🌟🏆

The Hayward Library and Community Learning Center showcases the city's vision for a Zero Net Energy, highly sustainable community library. Now embodying the notion of “The Heart of the City,” the library has become the centerpiece of social infrastructure, revitalizing their downtown and a cornerstone for Hayward’s climate action plan. It has been a great pleasure to work with Hayward and their Librarians to create an array of multigenerational learning spaces, enhancing the lives of Hayward’s residents. In addition to its LEED platinum certification, it has also been verified as one of the largest Zero Net Energy libraries in the nation. We thank everyone for their contributions.

What better place to enjoy brain-shaped cookies than at Berkeley Neuroscience!

Last week, we celebrated the grand opening of the UC Berkeley Warren Hall 2nd Floor Renovation with Neuroscience faculty, staff, and students, UC Capital Projects and JRG Construction staff, and campus luminaries. This project designed by Noll & Tam converted a previous IT space into dry labs, collaborative spaces, conference rooms, patient testing rooms, and a shop room. The ceremony featured a ribbon-cutting by Professor Ehud Isacoff and PhD student Alexis Pracar, and then we all enjoyed a marvelous buffet of neuroscience-themed snacks!

Taking a 'paws' from the office grind for our spring office retreat at the Oakland Zoo!
From making engaging pecha-kucha presentations to touring the veterinary hospital we designed in 2012 and sketching adorable Panamanian golden frogs, the day was an absolute blast. Huge thanks to the amazing staff at the Oakland Zoo for taking such great care of their animals and for giving us such an awesome day.

Einstein said it best: "The only thing that you absolutely have to know, is the location of the library."

Libraries -- or as we like to say, the community's living room -- aren't just spots for snagging books. They offer loads of great services, resources, and programs. In honor of , we thank library staff and libraries for their essential services and resources! Be sure to check out the amazing libraries California has to offer. Here are a few we know and love.

Urban Tilth Topping-Out Ceremony

Great progress is being made on Urban Tilth’s North Richmond Farm! The white oak trusses, crafted by the Timber Framers Guild, were just installed, and the Noll & Tam design team participated in the topping-out ceremony on March 27 for the watershed workshop building, writing our wishes on the trusses and observing the traditional placement of the whetting bush on the highest point of the timber frame. We’re so excited to see this fabulous urban farm complex take shape.
