Designing for High Performance Facilities
The benefits of sustainable design are abundant. Hospitals can significantly reduce their
UNDER A SET OF RECOGNIZED operational costs and create better healing environments, universities can further enhance
SUSTAINABLE CONSTRUCTION STANDARDS their reputations as environmental stewards and laboratories can become more energy
efficient. In addition to reducing carbon footprints through sustainable design, owners must
also continue to fulfill the needs of their staff and remain competitive in the marketplace. In
short, sustainable design needs to be a natural outcome of the built environment.
BSA LifeStructures works with clients to connect the financial, environmental and social
aspects of sustainable design. The firm leverages their multidisciplinary design staff to
conduct eco-charettes where attainable and agreed upon project sustainability goals are
determined.
BSA LifeStructures’ portfolio includes LEED, Green Guide for Healthcare and Energy
Star certified designs. Regardless of what level of sustainable design clients pursue, BSA
LifeStructures’ design responds to meet the global climate for high performance facilities.

Chicago Office Renovation
BSA LifeStructures’ Chicago office is located on the eighth floor of the landmark 1920s era Jeweler’s
Building. The floor was originally designed as an indoor parking garage and was built with a floor-to-
floor height of less than 11 feet. This resulted in a very tight ceiling condition near the building core
due to the low structure and large mechanical ducts supplying the space.
