Atherton’s new Civic Center will serve as a true town center, housing essential services for the community while providing venues and events to draw residents together.

A library, police station, and City Hall—complete with council chambers and city administration and community development offices—will surround a landscaped plaza. The local community has been engaged throughout the development stages of this project, ensuring that the residents of Atherton are invested in and empowered by this transformation of their town.

Introba (formerly Integral Group) is providing the project’s electrical design and daylighting services, including a 360 kW photovoltaic (PV) system, which will allow the new buildings to target Net Zero Energy certification. The PV system includes carport- and roof-mounted solar panels that can offset the entire project’s energy use, as calculated by the Introba modeling team.

Our daylighting team examined daylight distribution patterns in each new building to measure natural light levels across the floorplans. Our designs provide significant energy-saving opportunities crucial to Net Zero Energy’s success by orienting the buildings to maximize daylight integration throughout the day.
