Interactive Resources provided comprehensive architecture and engineering services for the new 18,000+ square foot Student Services Center. The new building provides students with one-stop access to important resources, such as counseling, financial aid, and career guidance. 
The Student Services Center serves as a part of the gateway and focal point to the college, and brings a fresh new aesthetic to the mid-century architecture of the campus. Sustainable design measures included: 
•    Landscape design to reduce heat island effect by minimizing paved areas, use of light colored paving and porous brick paving instead of asphalt, and utilizing drought tolerant plants. 
•    Utilization of PG&E Savings by Design program, which offers monetary incentives for exceeding Title-24 energy     requirements by 20%. 
•    Reduced amount of energy required to heat and cool building by accommodating under-floor air, data and power through the use of a raised access floor. This technique also requires virtually no ductwork, and provides for maximum upgrade flexibility in the future. 
•    Use of clerestory windows to increase daylighting and natural ventilation. 
•    Use of sunshades above all southern exposed windows and deep overhangs at glazed entry areas, as well as     roll-down shades, and low-e insulated glazing combine to provide maximum daylighting and energy performance. 
•    East to West building orientation to provide daylighting and optimize solar control. 
•    Single-ply “cool roof” to enhance energy efficiency and reduce heat island effect.
