Designed to harmonize with its natural setting on the San Francisco Bay, the new Genesis Marina biotech campus has achieved a significant sustainability milestone: the world’s first building to earn TRUE Construction Gold Certification. The program—short for Total Resource Use and Efficiency—is the premier global standard for zero waste and recognizes projects that achieve outstanding levels of resource efficiency through waste reduction, reuse, and recycling practices. Unlike other certifications, TRUE focuses exclusively on waste and circular economy principles, setting the most rigorous standard for waste diversion from landfills, and we congratulate our partners Webcor on this construction achievement. Created to meet growing demand in the biotech sector and to connect the Bay Area’s scientific community, it is innovative in its approach as a multi-tenant campus. Purpose-built with robust infrastructures and systems, flexible laboratory designs, and a range of support services, Genesis Marina is just one of the many projects captured in our recent Climate Action Report that we spotlight here for Earth Month.

Absolutely gorgeous! And that view!
This is a brilliant example of what happens when architecture embraces both environmental responsibility and community purpose.
🚀 Exciting update! Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM)!
Genesis Marina not only supports the growth of the biotech community—it sets a global benchmark for how innovation and environmental stewardship can coexist in the built environment. Congrats to the SOM team.
Love it.
Wow, awesome!
