We're proud to live in a county leading the way on sustainability. Case in point–the new County Office Building 3. Just another office building you say? Far from it! Our county, their Project Development Unit, Architects Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM) and builders Truebeck Construction stepped up to the challenge when they built the new County Office Building 3 housing almost 600 employees and the Board of Supervisors Chambers. They brought vision, innovation, collaboration and heart to create a building that will last for generations and is sustainable, functional AND beautiful. Congrats on your 2025 Green Building award winner presented by SSMC and AIA San Mateo County! Do you have your tickets to this year's Sustainability Awards Celebration?

Three years later he's delivered 135,000 meals to 3,500 homeless individuals, reducing food waste, greenhouse gases and food insecurity. 🏆 Celebrate Colin and all our award winners at SSMC's 26th Annual Awards & Auction gala event on April 3 at College of San Mateo!
