Environmental Design (LEED®) certification standards, the 409,000-square-foot building
is the most environmentally friendly headquarters in the region. Careful consideration to balance
our fiduciary and environmental responsibilities is reflected in the resource and operational
efficiencies of the headquarters.
The efficiencies result in cost and environmental savings such as:
- Savings in energy costs exceeding $130,000 a year.
- Estimated 12 percent less energy use than comparable buildings, nationally.
- Reduced water usage of about 40 percent using low-flow water fixtures and
high-efficiency irrigation.
Value to CalSTRS Financial Future
Sustainability creates long-term value for the financial future of our members. The headquarters, as
a LEED certified building, provides higher value over time compared to non-LEED buildings. The use
of quality, sustainable building materials and equipment increases the building’s lifespan, freeing
more dollars for investments.
CalSTRS headquarters is on time and under budget:
- $13.2 million saved using a team build approach in
construction and design.
- 20 percent of building materials from within a 500-mile radius.
- $10 million savings on original construction cost of $276 million.
