Guide Dogs for the Blind
Administration Building
Located in San Rafael, California, Guide Dogs for the Blind (GDB) cares for more than 800 puppies per year are whelped and raised by a dedicated team at GDB’s National Headquarters located in San Rafael, California. This project entailed an interior renovation of an existing administrative building. Initially, the project started as an Energy Upgrade, which consisted of a complete envelope upgrade to the exterior, including all-new storefront/window systems, Insulation, Plaster, decorative wood accents, roofing, and courtyard upgrades. Then the client added the phased interior renovations, where we completed ½ the building, then moved everyone over and completed the second ½ of the building.
