Synopsis:

In an encouraging turn of events, the United Nations have thrown out their original concept plans for the new Global Compact headquarters in San Francisco. The initial plan called for an 80,000-square-foot clean-tech campus by 2012 at the former Hunters Point Naval Shipyard. Those plans were never funded and the project was eventually cut. Instead, an abandoned 62-year-old Navy warehouse will now become the home for the new emerging clean-tech companies. Building 813, as it is currently known, includes 260,000 square feet. “Reusing the robustly constructed warehouse will help accelerate the development of a clean-tech campus at the shipyard and avoid demolition of a sound building.”
