The Art Center College of Design South Campus renovations included upgrades to approximately 92,700 square feet. Improvements included structural modifications, seismic reinforcement, replacement of mechanical-electrical-plumbing systems, accessibility improvements, fire-life-safety upgrades and new interior/exterior finishes as part of the new South Campus.
This LEED certified project implemented innovative materials such as the skylights that are a Texlon foil translucent fabric to create flowing architectural skylight systems throughout the building. The skylight systems are constructed of inflated pillows with the ability to shade the space below depending upon the location of the sun.
The rooftops of two of the main buildings were waterproofed and landscaped to create a series of pathways, plantings and a memorial garden.
