San Francisco’s Public Utilities Commission is constructing the new campus for the City Distribution Division, relocating the division from its existing location at 1990 Newcomb Avenue to 2000 Marin Street. Siting on an eight-acre property, the new, 405,144-SF campus will house six buildings; the largest of which is the six-story garage with a capacity of 556 cars. Second is the four-story administration building, containing a community hub, shops and an outdoor plaza. The other four buildings will be a machine shop, an auto and carpentry shop and a 40-foot-tall warehouse with a meter shop. The site will also include a backup generator on a concrete pad and a fueling station with two above-ground fuel tanks for diesel and gasoline. 

Miyamoto prepared the structural design for the project. The four-story administrative building utilizes perimeter buckling-restrained braced (BRB) frames founded on auger cast piles. Three auto/machine shops are designed with a combination of BRB and moment frames on micropiles. The kiosk building consists of CMU units founded on mat slab/footing. We also provided structural assistance and designs for landscaping, architectural site elements and hundreds of special equipment anchorage and support.
