Pomona College: Smith Campus Center - Pomona, CA

The objective of the project was to expand the North Patio toward the street to create a more inviting entry and encourage movement through the Coop Fountain and the actual building, change the steps from the courtyard down to the South Lawn to create better connections through the Campus Center in the north/south axis, and to provide visibility to the new Social Room on the lower level by creating a sunken courtyard and sloped grass area on the South Lawn.

Cesar Chavez Recreation Complex - Sun Valley, CA

The objective of the project was to develop a closed sanitary landfill area located on the west side of Hollywood Freeway. The site, approximately 40 acres in size, was to be developed by the City of Los Angeles for active park use. Design and layout were to maximize the use of existing soil foundations for utilities, buildings, and other structures. All fill areas were subject to settlement, therefore the design had to address the settlement issues.

Scope of the project included modifying the existing underground methane gas collection/extraction systems, 10 new 180' x 315' turf soccer fields, two 270' outfield baseball fields, parking lots with parking spaces, site drainage and grading, perimeter fencing for the entire site, a fieldhouse building with public restrooms, park storage, and a director's office, a satellite restroom, a shade structure, shade trees and landscape, pedestrian walkways and a quarter mile jogging track within the recreation area, standard irrigation, security access, and lighting of the recreation area including parking areas, pedestrian walkways, roadways, and the sports fields. The scope also included a play area, a picnic area, proper signage, and other miscellaneous furniture items such as bleachers, picnic tables, water fountains, trash receptacles, and soccer equipment.
