This new water testing laboratory connects to, and upgrades the appearance of, the existing stucco headquarters of the Water District. The south ³public² face has high clerestory windows which wrap the analytical functions of the lab. These windows provide diffuse light into the lab reducing the need for artificial light thereby saving energy over the life of the building. A steel and wood cantilever screen protects against glare and heat gain while providing detail and texture to the exterior stucco facade.
