Nestled at the base of the San Bernardino National Forest, the design of the new East Valley Water District Headquarters takes its influence from the natural landscape. The 35,000 SF campus efficiently combines District functions into a single location featuring customer service facilities, administration and meeting spaces, boardroom, full service kitchen, maintenance facilities, walking trails, water features, and educational exhibits.
The design solution orients buildings to take full advantage of the surrounding vistas while rustic materials and a warm, earthy color palette reflect the natural setting. Special attention was paid to incorporating ample daylighting, harvesting natural light in every room or circulation space.
The new facility provides greater synergy and flexibility while considering the historic context of the District and it’s surroundings.
