AXP Tour: Gregory Bateson Building

The Gregory Bateson Building was originally constructed in 1981 and designated as a historically significant building in 2016 due to its innovative design elements, which at the time of the original construction were cutting edge for architectural design and energy efficiency. The four-story, approximately 308,000 GSF building occupies a full city block in downtown Sacramento.

Renovation will address building wide MEP infrastructure, fire-life safety, accessibility, exterior façade, water intrusion, and vertical transportation deficiencies; remove hazardous materials; repair water damaged building components; replace interior finishes that are at the end of their useful life; provide a modern working environment; and refresh the building exterior and landscaping.

The project is currently under the demolition phase, which has exposed the unique structural system and damaged building components.
