Sustainable Headquarters
Built in 1914, the Moraga Barn is the oldest building in Moraga. Canyon Construction undertook the renovation of this former hotel, grocery store, telephone switching center and bar in February 2006 with the goal of achieving Platinum LEED Certification. The lower level of this structure is currently being outfitted as the community wine bar. The completion of this part of the renovation process will allow us to finish the LEED certification. Canyon Construction also sought to restore the building to its original historical exterior, while renovating the interior using the latest in modern green technologies to showcase the best of Canyon’s abilities and interests in fine craftsmanship, historical aesthetics and conservation and efficiency.The Moraga Barn is a state of the art green building. We have gone above and beyond the normal green building practices to demonstrate the most effective, efficient and refined construction principles available today. Our green building department has created one of the most innovative green buildings in the country using 100% renewable energy, ultra energy and water efficient design, salvaged and sustainably harvested materials, and the optimum in indoor air quality.
In order to better educate the public about the green building practices used in this renovation an interactive viewer was developed that shows many of the green features of the building that support it's LEED Certification.
