Lawson Lane

The Lawson Lane Campus, located at Central Expressway and San Tomas in Santa Clara, CA, is the development of three new office buildings totaling 516,000 ft². It is being developed by Sobrato Development Companies. The buildings will incorporate sustainable features throughout and be designed to achieve a minimum LEED® Silver certification. Design features include a network of bio-swales designed to help control water runoff, vertical translucent glass sunshades integrated into the building façade to allow the maximum amount of daylight while controlling glare, photovoltaic panels integrated into a trellis structure and the reuse of site demolition materials in the building construction.

A radial grid posed a challenge for our research and development team in the creation of offsetting ConXL Top and Bottom Flange Collars to create a segmented radial structural moment frame. ConXtech now has a standardized solution for horizontally or vertically offset beams up to 8 degrees.
