詹姆斯·伯内特办公室：加利福尼亚理工学院的安纳伯格信息科学和技术中心为科学和工程学科的合作研究和教学提供了一个现代化的中心。该设施代表了加州理工学院最新的可持续发展计划，目前正在进行LEED黄金认证评估。建筑周围的景观反映了这种环境伦理，与传统的帕萨迪纳装饰调色板有很大的不同。
The Office of James Burnett: The Annenberg Center for Information Science and Technology at the California Institute of Technology provides a modern center for collaborative research and instruction in the disciplines of science and engineering. The facility represents the most recent of Caltech’s sustainability initiatives and is currently being evaluated for LEED Gold certification. The landscape surrounding the building reflects this environmental ethic and exhibits a substantial departure from the traditional Pasadena ornamental palette.

Palo Verde树木构成了建筑入口的植物，这些植物被组织成一系列的木板，与相邻的玻璃幕墙相呼应。灌木林下主要注重水源保护，由许多肉质植物和观赏草组成。该项目还包括一个重要的社会组成部分，通过提供带有可移动家具的分解花岗岩座位区，用于临时室外聚会。新的环境美学及其伴随的节水效益正受到校园社区的热烈欢迎。
Palo Verde trees structure the building’s entry plantings, which are organized into a series of planks to echo the adjacent glass façade. The shrub understory heavily focuses on water conservation and is comprised of a number of succulents and ornamental grasses. The project also includes a significant social component through its provision of decomposed granite seating areas with movable furniture, which are used for impromptu outdoor gatherings. The new environmental aesthetic, with its concomitant water conservation benefits, is being enthusiastically embraced by the campus community.
