This project was built overlooking San Diego Bay in the late 1980s and was designed by renowned architect Helmut Jahn. Over the last 10 years this property has been transformed into one of the most advanced Intelligent Buildings in North America.
The building features a high speed "Building Optical Network" or BON, which provides broadband and wireless access for all tenants. A recent controls upgrade provides for network access to all systems including CCTV cameras, air handlers, chillers, and terminal units. The intelligence continues into the operations of the building with the use of wireless handheld tools for the operations staff, digital images of all drawings and documents, and a tenant portal. This building projects a perfect example of an intelligent building's tremendous value.
Due to the limited space in the building mechanical areas, the capacity of the tour is limited to 50 attendees. Early registrants for the BAC 2006 conference will have an option to register for the tour at no additional charge.
