Located in Ladera Ranch, California, this mixed-use complex was designed to serve as an athletic hub for youth sports in the Orange County region. This project is a 4-story 120,500 SF "podium design" with parking on the ground level that leads to a 62,000 SF sporting center consisting of 8 indoor basketball/volleyball courts and a foodservice commons. ‍In addition to the sports complex, this project also houses a Smartstop Asset Management location. This includes 42,000 square feet of indoor self-storage space and 16,000 square feet of corporate office space. ‍With the project being constructed and designed with sustainability in mind, Solar Photovoltaic Panels cover the 70,000 square foot roof. The building ultimately achieved LEED Gold Certification from the United States Green Building Council.

The two ten-story Trammell Crow next-generation office space, one-million-square-foot LEED Gold high-rise buildings are interconnected with sky bridges, a central park with outdoor workspaces, retail, café, and a9-story parking structure. This project involved full mechanical, electrical, plumbing, low voltage, and audio-visual technology design with a full build-out of tenant improvements for separate clients. After the start of construction in February of 2016, the team archived the goal of substantial completion in September of 2017, on time and under budget.

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.

tk1sc provided engineering services for mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and low voltage services on this 20,000 square foot addition to the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Scientific Investigations Division.

The project provided Firearms staff with workstations for evidence processing and documentation, in addition to the indoor firing range and projectile recovery tank rooms.

tk1sc provided complete engineering consulting for Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing, Energy, and LEED Services on this 91,200 square foot Science and Technology building. The Alton and Lydia Lim Center for Science, Technology, and Health is the newest and most prominent academic building on Biola University's campus, tripling the amount of space devoted to science education. This expansive teaching and research facility is home to the next generation of innovative science, engineering, and healthcare leaders. The project consists of 27 laboratories, including a dedicated SEM (scanning and electron microscope) lab and a TEM (transmission electron microscope) lab, six classrooms, a greenhouse, anatomy suite, research spaces, faculty offices, and a rooftop observatory. The facility provides cutting-edge equipment and research opportunities to students and faculty for years to come. ‍

This project is a two-story building of approximately 23,163 square feet. The Newport Harbor Yacht Club is located on 720 West Bay Ave., Newport Beach, CA. The project is designed as a replacement to the existing building. The various space functions include offices and conference rooms, bar, lounge, dining area, ballroom, library, locker, and showers. tk1sc provided full-service engineering/ consulting services for Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing and Low Voltage systems. Architectural lighting design services were also provided by our boutique lighting team, studiok1.

This project's sustainable elements highlight the design while also providing an efficient place for students to live, study, and socialize. With smaller than average room sizes, more common areas, study alcoves, kitchens, terraces, a classroom, and café were built with the saved space. To achieve it's LEED Gold status, our design team implemented the following sustainable building systems. Active and passive controls, motion-sensor lights in all spaces, special triggers to disable HVAC use when the operable windows are open, solar fins that shade west-facing windows for additional energy savings, and geopier footings in place of typical cast-in-place concrete, which saved time and money.Constructed on the last available parcel of campus land, the Blackstone Residence Hall was squeezed between a major college entrance, a busy street and two existing structures, with no green space on site. To make the design work, the project team employed the latest building information modeling and document-control technologies to create an angular building design that maximizes the number of units while leaving room for outdoor amenities. The result is an efficient LEED Gold building, highlighted by smaller-than-average, 150 SF dorm rooms. The saved area was allocated for more common space, study alcoves, kitchens, terraces, a classroom and a café. The 61,000 SF structure provides 15% of its area as amenity space for residents. It also created a new secondary campus entrance.

The re-opening of the Martin Luther King Jr. hospital signifies a new beginning for the MLK Medical Center, which was closed in 2007, leaving a large community without access to local healthcare services. The renovation re-establishes this facility as a new, state-of-the-art hospital within the LA County Department of Public Health system providing inpatient, outpatient, and mental health services. Redevelopment of the 38-acre campus encompasses the complete renovation of the In-Patient Tower, Replacement of the Central Heating, Cooling and Emergency Power Utility Plant, and addition of an Ancillary Building. The project included constructing a new 2-story 23,000 SF Ancillary Building, a new 70,000 MBH steam heating plant, a 4800-ton cooling plant, and a new 4MW emergency generator plant. The project also included:

This design-build project is a 38,900 SF two-story law enforcement training center. The building design was certified by the California Commission on Peace Officers Standards and Training. The facility includes classrooms, training simulation labs, a fitness lab, locker room, an armory and mat room for physical combat training.

The Student Recreation Center is a 138,000 square-foot facility for exercise and leisure activity that promotes lifelong health and wellness. This project aimed to create a student recreational center where students can workout, hang out, and relax in a sustainable environment. The 2-story project includes a gymnasium, sports courts, weight training & fitness areas, multipurpose rooms & a 5,000 square-foot pool area with showers &locker rooms. tk1sc provided mechanical, electrical, and plumbing engineering, low voltage systems design, and lighting design for this eco-friendly LEED Gold certified building.
