CSU Long Beach Parkside North Housing Administration Building
Long Beach, California, United States
The Housing Administration Building comprises two parallel structures, elegantly connected by an 88 kWh photovoltaic array canopy. Approximately 400 solar photovoltaic panels adorn the rooftops of these two interconnected buildings. These panels contribute to the building’s energy needs while seamlessly integrating with the central courtyard canopy. This innovative design not only harmonizes the buildings but also harnesses the power of the sun to generate clean energy.
This striking canopy serves a dual purpose: it provides onsite renewable energy and frames the entrance to the Housing Administration Building. Beyond its functional role, this building stands as a social hub and a state-of-the-art workplace, welcoming students and faculty alike into a vibrant and sustainable environment.
