Greener by Design: NRDC's Santa Monica Office
Guide

This guided tour through NRDC’s office in Southern California illustrates the latest in green building design and practices. We chose a 1920s-era structure in Santa Monica's pedestrian center to take advantage of existing services like transit and to avoid building on undeveloped land. Then we redesigned it to conserve water and energy and showcase environmentally sound materials. On the ground floor, we constructed an environmental learning center. Take a look!

Overview

NRDC's newest office achieved the gold standard in green building design for the price of conventional construction. The office is a showcase of renewable materials and energy-efficient solutions.
