Understanding user needs was key…

The Kuth Ranieri Team designed the arts department classrooms & restrooms while SmithGroup worked on all science, technology, and math departments. During the programming phase we worked with arts instructors to understand the processes and space needed for each art form (pictured below.) I am currently working with SmithGroup to provide information to contractor, Rudolph & Sletten during the CA phase.

The project underwent Collaborative Design-Build Delivery. I worked with the Contractor, Structural, MEP, HVAC, and AV consultants to produce a set of construction documents to be approved by the DSA (Division of the State Architect). To meet DSA approval, the project had to meet CA Building Code 11B standards. DSA approval took place in July 2022.
