Project Feature: California Natural Resources Headquarters

In our latest project feature, the award-winning California Natural Resources Agency (CNRA) Headquarters in Sacramento, a 22-story, civic landmark that sets new standards for sustainable design and public engagement.

Working alongside AC Martin, Turner Construction, and Walters & Wolf, Sentech engineered and supplied the high-performance structural glass façade systems that create the building’s striking public entrances. The installation includes five monumental structural glass walls, with the largest spanning an impressive 36-ft tall by 61-ft wide, delivering exceptional transparency while maximizing natural daylight throughout the building.

Designed to achieve LEED Platinum certification and Net-Zero Energy performance, the CNRA Headquarters demonstrates how innovative façade engineering can support both architectural vision and environmental responsibility.
