Some pretty enameled lapel pins, as well.

So the wife had a thing to attend here and being her designated driver, given the opportunity, I…read moredecided to see what this new building looks like and what all it offers. This is the Resources Building, with several state agencies located here. They have a big auditorium, a nice lobby, several bigger conference and smaller meeting rooms, tons of open space that communicates vastness, and the decor all throughout seems to be designed to bring nature or reminders of nature into this building. The rest of the building beyond the first 2 floors are not accessible to the public, and require badge access. I was impressed by their giant 20(?) foot display where they put up giant announcements and colorful digital posters. On the other side of that foyer/lobby, you'll find their dining area. They have 2 eateries, Buddha Bowls & Rolls and Jesse's Getaway Cafe. They also have a small convenience store but its hours are quite limited, but still nice to have one. All in all, very nice building, still looks and feels new, with tastefully designed facilities. Pro tip: don't buy from their vending machine in the cafeteria area. Chips are $2.75, candy bars $3.10, and soda cans $4.75 each. Yikes. At those prices, might as well get a meal or sandwich and drinks at the 2 food vendors on site.

I'm surprised this building at 715 P St has been built and opened about 4 years now, and there's no…read moreYelp reviews yet. So this is the new Resources Building, which officially opened in Fall 2021, when most everyone was still probably trying to stay home or not in-person for work due to the pandemic. The main State agency here is the California Natural Resources Agency. But this building also houses the following 11 agencies that's related to CNRA. Specifically, you'll find: California Energy Commission California Water Commission Delta Stewardship Council Department of Conservation Department of Fish & Wildlife Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE) Department of Parks & Recreation Department of Water Resources California Fish and Game Commission Office of Energy Infrastructure Safety Wildlife Conservation Board As for the building itself, first off, this is an ECOFRIENDLY building, and is in fact a Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) LEED Platinum Certified Building, which means there are a lot of environmental friendly and conservation design elements and measures thoughtfully put into this building. All the lighting and other resource usage devices and mechanisms have been considered carefully to minimize usage and maximize energy saving. Secondly, there are ART works and California nature themes throughout the building with lots of beautiful photos and digital art pieces of scenes from California's coastline, beaches, forests, mountains, and other natural wonders, some in more realistic representations, and others in more abstract and interpretative modes. There are also several sculptures throughout and surrounding the building, with the Giant Sequoia at the entrance being the most famous and prominent one, made by artist John Grade. Other artists represented include Rachel Sussman, Ishi Glinsky, Michael van Straaten, Angelo Rosales, Chris Jordan, Chris Kallmyer, Danski Tang & Josh Shaffner, Elizabeth Leister, Gabe BC, Heidi Duckler Dance, Jessica Wimbley & Chris Christion, Kevin Cooley, Maru Garcia & Hye Min Cho & Maura Palacios Mejia, RIGER, Sarah Rara, Gioia Fonda, and HYBYCOZO. Overall, this building is pretty impressive, with its mirrored windows exterior skyscaping into the clouds and its interior of natural lights and warm color themes that echo the nature it's trying to convey from the outside. There are many meeting rooms (most do not have public access), one large auditorium, lots of offices (no public access of course besides the public reception counters), and plenty of open spaces throughout to give a feeling of large expanses. This was surely an expensive build, but it is a very nice government building, the most modern and nicest I've visited to date. Finally, I've not tried other eateries in this building, but Buddha Bowls and Rolls is here and they're good. There's also Jesse's Getaway Cafe for a quick breakfast or lunch bite.

This is a review just for the building, not the body of people. I'll keep politics out of this…read more I'm so glad we were able to quickly squeeze in a trip inside the capital building. With my son set to learn about California history, we thought it would be fun to give him a bit of a primer of the state capital. We got there about 30~45 minutes before closing and basically had the whole building to ourselves. It also 'helped' (but was also a bit of a disappointment) that the state senate had started their summer recess the day before so there was nothing going on. But we breezed through security and got to roam the main areas of the building all to ourselves. We even got to let our 3 kids, niece, and nephew just run around and explore without having to worry about them getting in anyone's way. The building is just absolutely gorgeous. Both inside and out. Having visited D.C., you really feel like you are in a smaller version of the nation's capital building and I really appreciated that. It gives it a nice sense of connection with the federal government even on the state level. While I wish they had a more convent parking situation (street parking is hit or miss & other lots are a bit of a walk away), I think this is absolutely worth your time.

If you've never been to the state capitol it's definitely a learning experience. There are TSA…read morestyle lines to get in with security. The lines to the elevators can be a bit of a wait. There are a lot of people that come here for multiple reasons (lobbying for laws, speaking to politicians, some are students learning how the laws work). It's a very modern and well put together building. Once you get to the floors you need to, it's pretty efficient finding the rooms of assembly members and senators. This experience was a lot more than what I thought it would be.
