Candlestick Point Climate Solutions Laboratory

The Candlestick Point Climate Solutions Laboratory project in San Francisco is a climate adaptation initiative focused on restoring shoreline habitats through the construction of a greenhouse, seed lab, workspaces, and a storage unit. These facilities will serve as a hub for propagating native plants essential to habitat recovery in the southeastern region of the city, directly addressing ecosystem degradation and climate resilience needs. The project is being led by the California State Coastal Conservancy and will provide critical community-based resources to the Bayview Hunters Point neighborhood and surrounding areas, fostering local engagement in environmental restoration efforts. All phases of the project—including final design development, permit application submission, and physical construction—are encompassed within the scope of work. The facility will support the propagation of plant materials tailored for shoreline stabilization and habitat creation, contributing to long-term ecological health in a region increasingly vulnerable to sea level rise and urban environmental stressors. The project is publicly forecasted with contact information provided by Project Manager Erica Johnson and Executive Director Hollis Pierce-Jenkins, who represent the overseeing agency and community partner respectively, ensuring alignment between technical execution and community need.
