Mixed-Use, Education Are C.W. Driver Focus

SAN JOSE, CA—In an update to a previous story on Andy Kirby’s recent promotion as C.W. Driver Northern California VP, we chat with Kirby about several projects he is directing in the region. These projects include the recently completed three-story, 120,000-square-foot Bloomingdale’s in the Stanford Shopping Center; the 112,000-square-foot facility at San Francisco State University; a 55,000-square-foot facility in Sunnyvale; and a 43,000-square-foot mixed-use development project in downtown Mountain View.

The San Francisco State University student recreation and wellness center is targeting LEED Platinum certification with energy-efficient materials, photovoltaic technology, and the latest innovative plumbing, mechanical and electrical equipment. Kirby tells GlobeSt.com that “The structure consists of a state-of-the-art audio/visual system and Myrtha pool design. The exterior façade consists of a large curtain wall system, glass fiber-reinforced concrete panels and a visually stunning metal ceiling system which takes you from the entrance into the beautifully laid-out facility.”
