In Irvine, California, Great Park Ice and FivePoint Arena combine the largest community ice complex in the region with a training facility for the Anaheim Ducks of the National Hockey League (NHL). Additional amenities include a pub, amphitheater, classrooms, and an array of outdoor public spaces. tk1sc provided Electrical, Fire Protection services, Architectural Lighting Design, Low Voltage system design services, and building commissioning for this project. tk1sc also completed design services for a 1.4-megawatt solar plant. This project was awarded a LEED Silver Certification. The $110 million, 280,000 square-foot project was designed around the vision of Ducks owners, Henry and Susan Samueli, to create a public resource to promote ice sports and health and wellness in the region. Great Park Ice was financed by the Irvine Ice Foundation, a nonprofit created by the Samueli's. At the end of the 50-year lease, ownership will revert to the community. The Great Park Ice facility is a 280,000 square foot ground-up facility within the Orange County Great Park sports complex, which features various outdoor sporting venues. The building features four indoor ice rinks — three NHL regulation rinks and one Olympic regulation rink — a full-service restaurant and bar, a café, and a gym. It serves as the new training facility for the Anaheim Ducks® National Hockey League team. The project's goal was to make a highly functional space for users that is energy efficient for all-day use, highly controllable for various event types, and aesthetically impressive through scale, palette, and integration. The rinks are illuminated with a total LED sports lighting solution connected to the building's dimming system for maximum controllability. One of the NHL rinks features 2,500 seats, a jumbotron screen with moving lights, and dmx controlled lighting for hosting an array of high-level entertainment and sporting events. The lobby, designed for high traffic volumes, features a double-height ceiling and wide circulation lit from linear pendants neatly organized within the acoustical baffle system at the ceiling. The baffles and lights are also arranged to align with the façade mullions furthering the architectural integration. The linear language is further celebrated at the entry portals to each rink and acts as wayfinding to lead users inward. The lobby illumination and varied blue-tinted glass façade create a lantern effect patterned in blue, white, and orange from the different visible surfaces from the exterior. The building uses a central control system and individual sensors to meet the strict energy code and reduce energy in unoccupied space, when daylight can be harvested from the tall glass façade, or when an event needs less light.

The 20-story 200 Spectrum Center Drive, Orange County, California’s tallest building, is a modern, flexible work environment with direct connections to the Irvine Spectrum shopping and entertainment center.‍The office tower is approximately 450,000 square feet and includes a six-level parking garage with 1,466 spaces. LPA worked with architect Pei Cobb Freed & Partners of New York to create a tower clad in a linen-finish stainless steel curtain wall with high-performance floor-to-ceiling glass.

The Watson Land Company's new corporate headquarters is targeting LEED-NC Platinum certification to support and represent the company's philosophy of constructing sustainable buildings for their clients. Every effort was made to find the most energy efficient lighting fixtures available and to take advantage of daylight harvesting and occupancy sensors.

Airborne Systems is a world leader in military parachute design, manufacturing, and training. They tasked tk1sc with providing full-service MEP engineering and commissioning services for their new office, warehouse, and manufacturing space. Located in Santa Ana's Alere's Orange County Industrial Center. This 159,163 Square Foot space provides Airborne System enough space to operate. The intention for this space design was to create a better connection between the front office and the manufacturing floor that blurs the lines between the two functions. This space's open ceiling concepts allowed us to show off our design work while adding to the overall rugged and industrial feel of this space.

This $180 million 250,000-square-foot six-story office complex is the first phase of a 20-year master plan to reposition every aspect of the County of Orange’s downtown real estate and approach to customer service. The Administration Building, also known as Building 16, was developed in a public-private partnership (P3). The commissioning team performed an integrated systems test at the end of the functional testing phase. The turn-key facility houses the County’s Public Works, Waste and Recycling, Treasurer-Tax Collector, Auditor-Controller, and Clerk-Recorder Departments well as a One-Stop-Shop, providing “walk-up service” from 11 departments serving the County’s constituents. The facility also features a new County Conference Center, complete with approximately 6,600square feet of conference and events space. The transit-oriented development (TOD) project will be bordered by a future transit plaza and light rail transit stop to the south, service and pedestrian paseo to the east, a central courtyard to the north a new, pedestrian-friendly street to the west. The project elevations change with solar orientation, allowing filtered sunlight to enter the east and west facades. Simultaneously, the southern exposure shields the interiors from the harsh southern sunlight, providing a highly energy-efficient aesthetic design. The building was designed to meet Essential Services Buildings Seismic Safety Act standards and Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED®) Silver certification standards. All commissioning tasks required by Title 24 Part 6 and CalGreen were needed as part of LEED fundamental commissioning except for LEED online documentation.
