LA Agritecture Workshop Slated for this Spring

Agritecture is coming to the City of Angels to host our 8th workshop in an 8th different city. We couldn’t be more pleased with the venue of this one, which will be at the stunningly designed Downtown LA office of Perkins+Will.

Perkins+Will is a global design firm full of thought leaders who are driven by diversity, innovation, sustainability, and social purpose. Perkins+Will have designed over 150 LEED-certified projects including the Charles E. Young Research Library, which sits in the workshop host city on the campus UCLA. 

If you don’t already know what an Agritecture Workshop is, maybe that’s our bad. We forgot to announce this video we released the other week explaining our workshops:

SUSTAINABILITY

Inspired by the city's diverse natural environment, 1 Hotel Toronto brings distinctive natural beauty to its downtown. The hotel’s design reflects Toronto’s intrinsic charm, in a palette inspired by the colours of the changing seasons. Explore our sustainable sanctuary to experience all the ways nature grows at our urban oasis.

LEED CERTIFIED

1 Hotel Toronto is LEED Gold certified. Equipped with top energy-efficient heating and cooling systems the property features in-room, energy-saving Honeywell Inncom Thermostats that control airflow based on occupancy. This is also integrated with Salto and HMS to operate based on light, occupancy, and other ambient conditions.

CO2 OFFSETS

Since we first opened, we’ve leveraged technology and thoughtful strategy to reduce our energy use and continuously minimize GHG emissions. Our intelligent Energy and Building Management Systems save roughly 17% of annual energy consumption and 167 tons of CO2 reduction.

SUPPORTING CAUSES THAT MATTER

Whether we’re directly supporting our non-profit partners through charitable events or using our platform to raise awareness and ignite positive change, we’re committed to honouring and uplifting the planet, people, and culture in the places we call home.

ENVIRONMENT

Protecting Our 1 World Nestled in the center of downtown Toronto, designed to be a retreat from the bustling city, our hotel includes more than 3,300 plants, including native plants more resilient to the local climate, providing you with a sense of balance and restoration, and giving the earth a little more breathing room.

Andrews Distributing opened their newest 500,000 square-foot distribution center in Fort Worth this year. The center contains 46 loading docks and was built to hold and sustain 30% more product than initially needed, positioning Andrews for decades of growth. 1 billion cans of beer can fill the distribution center from floor to ceiling. Designed by Magee Architects and built by Lee Lewis Construction, this cutting-edge facility has earned a Silver LEED AP certification. Solar panels, installed by Axium Solar, cover approximately 65% of the building, saving more than a megawatt of energy annually.
