Gregory Bateson Building Renovation

History of the building

The Gregory Bateson Building was originally constructed in 1981 and the State Historic Preservation Officer designated it as a historically significant building in 2016 due to its innovative design elements, which at the time of the original construction were cutting edge for architectural design and energy efficiency. The four-story, approximately 308,000 GSF building occupies a full city block in downtown Sacramento, California at 1600 9th Street.
