5 Project Objec0ves Revitalize and upgrade exis0ng campus in manner that promotes orderly renewal and enhances campus economic vitality and fiscal health Create high- quality, state- of- the- art facili0es to promote world- leading research Improve working environment for employees to a_ract and retain top scien0sts, engineers, researchers, and other professionals Update seismic, safety, and security features to maintain safe environment for employees and neighbors Enhance energy efficiency through moderniza0on of buildings and u0lity infrastructure, and through building placement based on solar orienta0on Improve campus bicycle and pedestrian pathways, and internal vehicular circula0on pa_erns, to minimize traffic conges0on on surrounding streets Allow flexibility to respond to future changes in research needs 2013 SRI Interna0onal 5

7 Moderniza0on Project Key Elements 25- year master plan, implemented in stages No increase in total building square footage 11% less than allowed under current Condi0onal Development Permit (CDP) Onsite employment to return to levels similar to those experienced in the past 10% less than allowed under current CDP 38 buildings become 19, with most clustered at campus center surrounding a central green to promote collabora0on, cross- disciplinary exchange of ideas and collabora0on Minimized visual effects by loca0ng tallest buildings at campus interior, providing flexible workspaces on smaller floor plates while increasing campus landscaping by 37% and sodening campus edges Tree preservagon wherever feasible and addi0onal tree plan0ng, including dense tree plan0ngs at campus perimeter with ribbons of trees flowing through campus 2013 SRI Interna0onal 7

8 Project Key Elements (con0nued) Relocated truck loading/receiving area, away from residen0al neighbors Con0nued implementa0on of progressive transportagon demand management (TDM) program only 59% of SRI employees commute in drive- alone vehicles today Improved bicycle and pedestrian faciliges and gateways to encourage employee commu0ng by alterna0ve modes Improved internal vehicular circulagon to minimize use of public streets Fewer parking spaces than exist today Reduced carbon footprint and water use through improved site design, building orienta0on, and u0lity infrastructure 2013 SRI Interna0onal 8
