Mastering a Tricky Hillside: SAP Labs Inc., Palo Alto
Architect: HDR
General Contractor: Devcon Construction
SAP Labs’ facility is a two-level structure on a dramatic hillside site adjacent to
the Coyote Hill open-space preserve.
The building is constructed of a movement-resistive steel frame, tilt-up concrete
panels for the basement-parking garage and first level and a glass curtainwall
for the entire second level. An observation deck on the second level overlooks
Coyote Hill, affording a 360-degree view of the South Bay.
The design includes several compelling features:
A 14-ft. canted-glass curtainwall and sloped perimeter ceilings maximize views
and interior daylight. Perforated exterior sunscreens help reduce air conditioning
requirements without limiting fenestration or views. A balcony, running the entire perimeter of the
upper level terminates in a plaza deck punctuated by two large, pyramid-shaped skylights.
Custom-colored concrete—sandblasted to expose its imported aggregate—was used to form the
building walls, curved balcony fascia, site retaining walls and concrete flatwork.
Required on-grade parking is placed away from the hillside. The source of the parking lot’s discreet,
indirect lighting is not easily visible off site.
Quotable:
“The project has good architectural design. It represents SAP very well and captures the essence
of who we are.”

The Difference Is in the Details: The Plaza, San Jose
Architects: Barry Swenson Builder, SB Architects
General Contractor: Barry Swenson Builder
The Plaza was developed in conjunction with the San Jose
Redevelopment Agency in an effort to redefine and create
neighborhoods and communities in downtown San Jose. The 56-
unit condominium development is a prime example of the agency’s
mixed-use program of high-density, low-rise residential.
The three-story building sits on a parking podium and surrounds the
heart of the project—a landscaped central courtyard with views to
interior units. A number of the larger units are townhouses, with
upper levels protruding above the third floor. The two-story-high
townhomes create a varied roofline for the development, differing
from traditional loft-style, live/work spaces. The podium-level units
open onto the street, with front stoops that create a neighborhood
feel. Each unit located on the lower level offers a private entry with
individual street access.
High-end finishes and materials were used throughout this handsome community.
Napa Valley Cast Stone cladding was used on the first level, giving a warm terra cotta hue to the
buildings base. Cast stone was also used to wrap around the windows, offering a more detailed

exterior. High-end recessed aluminum windows were chosen to increase shadow lines. Eternet’s
Fiber Cement Roofing (with a slate appearance) adds texture to the rooftop.
Quotable:
“The Plaza is one of our most successful residential developments due to the classic and urban
architectural design by SB Architects. It has received much attention in the emerging downtown
San Jose market.”

Setting a Standard for Quality: Downtown Concord Parking
Structure, Concord
Architect: International Parking Design
General Contractor: West Bay Builders
The new 423-space Downtown Concord Parking Structure adds
pizzazz, ambiance and color to the city’s vibrant architectural mix.
The three-levelparking structure’s architectural concept provides
continuity of design with surrounding structures like the 1911-built
Foskett & Elworthy building.
Wide columns and solid spandrel panels are proportioned to suggest a commercial building. The
distinctive, round-stair towers, inspired by the rounded corner of the F&E building, mark pedestrian
access points at the southeast, southwest and northwest corners.

The building colors are warm Mediterranean tans highlighted with terra-cotta accent tiles. Ground-
floor security grilles and stairway roofs are painted with compatible accent colors. The open interior
and stairs and a small management office enhance security.
The parking structure’s pedestrian-friendly atmosphere is complimented by its position alongside
the Paseo, a walkway that runs through downtown. In response to the Paseo’s arched gateways
and lush landscape and the city’s streetscape design guidelines, vehicle-access drives are painted
to offer pleasant and inviting entry points to the parking structure.
Quotable:
“I believe that the Concord Parking Structure is of the highest quality and excellent design and a
great contribution to the revitalization of downtown. It sets a standard for design and quality and is
a statement/landmark of how important the downtown is to the city.”

Overcoming Casino Challenges: Harrah’s Rincon Casino
and Resort
Architect: Paul Steelman Co.
General Contractor: W.E. O’Neil Construction Co. of California
The $125 million Harrah’s Rincon Casino and Resort is a Las Vegas-quality
entertainment destination in Southern California. Working with the Rincon Tribal
organization and maneuvering through sovereign nation mandates, W.E. O’Neil
Construction Co. turned over the permanent casino and hotel in time for opening
day festivities on Aug. 8.

Located 25 minutes north of San Diego, Harrah’s features a 201-room, 3-star, all-suite hotel, a
45,000-sq.-ft. casino with 1,500 slot machines and 32 table games and six restaurants. The four-
story hotel has a laid-back, tropical theme, with high-end finishes in each suite. Extensive site work
included a road widening package, sewage treatment plant, pool area, interior courtyards and
surface parking for 4,500 cars.
Quotable:
“The Harrah’s Rincon casino development program has been in the works now for nearly three
years and has included three significant projects, all of which were very successful and overcame
many challenges.
“This success is in large part due to the W.E. O’Neil Construction team, with whom we have
enjoyed a partnership from day one. They should be commended for their work ethic, maintaining a
good attitude in difficult times, and staying focused on customer service. Congratulations to the
WEO gang for a job well done, and for the ongoing work at Rincon.”

Unparalleled Craftsmanship: Cathedral of Our Lady of
the Angels, Los Angeles
Design Architect: Jose Rafael Moneo
General Contractor: Morley Construction Co.
The project is a new landmark in the Los Angeles Civic
Center. Its centerpiece—the cathedral church—represents the
largest use of exposed architectural concrete for a building in
California.

The procedures used for concrete-mix design, forming, placing and curing were developed during a
year of research and mock-up testing.
The cathedral is the first seismically base-isolated structure anywhere and is flanked by a free-
standing bell tower, which is also base-isolated.
The one-time installation of alabaster windows is the largest ever to be done in the world. Extensive
research on how alabaster reacts to heat dictated a special two-membrane window design.
The downtown site is comprised of a 21/2-acre plaza dotted with artwork and three conventionally
designed structures: a conference center, clerical residence and three-level subterranean parking
garage.
Technical obstacles were matched by managerial challenges. The team was assembled on a
negotiated basis well before the start of actual construction. The pioneering structures were fast-
tracked as the client pressed for an aggressive opening date.
Quotable:
“Without question, the quality of the construction, especially the concrete work on the cathedral
itself, is unparalleled.”

Faster Than Fast Track: Fresno AAA Stadium
Architect: HOK Sport + Venue + Event
General Contractor: Mauldin-Dorfmeier Construction

Despite a nearly impossible, 11-month schedule and a number of
design changes, Mauldin-Dorfmeier Construction completed the
$45 million project within the original contract time.
The initial obstacle was the quick-start nature of this project: the
Notice to Proceed was given just six days after the construction
contract was awarded.
Mauldin-Dorfmeier quickly assembled a staff, drafted 43 subcontracts and prepared a 1,854-activity
schedule with 22 work areas.
By providing the on-site scheduler with continuous updates, the general contractor was able to
navigate the proper course in the midst of an ever-shifting storm.
The stadium’s complexities included a number of different occupant requirements—a baseball
diamond, concessions, restaurant/bar, kitchen and seating areas—combining to make this a very
technical and challenging project.
Quotable:
“Mauldin Dorfmeier put a lot of effort into getting the stadium done by May 1. It was a desire to do
something for the community. It definitely sets a construction standard. Alan Dorfmeier and Pat
Mauldin obviously were sincere in getting the project done and done right.”

Fast and Efficient: Christian Brothers High School, Science,
Math and Technology wings, Sacramento

Architects: E.M. Kado Associates, Comstock Johnson Architects
General Contractor: Panattoni Construction Inc.
The Christian Brothers High School project was an exemplary effort
among contractorts, suppliers, architects and engineers, all of whom
donated their services.
The team, led by Panattoni Construction, built a two-story, 33,888-sq.-
ft., steel-framed building to replace existing overcrowded science labs
and classrooms. E.M. Kado and Associates designed the shell and
Comstock Johnson Architects designed the tenant improvement portion.
The entire project took just 15 months to construct. Within that time frame, the tenant improvement
phase was designed, reviewed and permitted.
The new building is connected to the existing one at the second floor by means of an enclosed
walkway bridge. The facility includes life sciences, physical sciences and chemistry laboratories,
seven classrooms, a faculty lounge and chemical storage room. All classrooms are equipped with
120-in., drop-down projector screens, recessed speakers, digital projectors, Crestron controls,
DVDs, VCRs, computer and document cameras.
Panattoni exceeded owner expectations by controlling costs and scheduling and exhibiting superior
teamwork.
Quotable:
Panattoni was very helpful in keeping a lid on costs on what was a very complex and challenging

Creative Use of Concrete: Little Company of Mary Hospital,
Hannon Tower, Torrance
Architect: KMD
General Contractor: McCarthy Building Cos.

The Hannon Tower at the Little Company of Mary Hospital required
innovative design and construction solutions that even the most
experienced hospital design and construction teams would find
challenging.
The $38.7 million hospital tower adjoins an existing building and was
constructed while the rest of the hospital was fully operational.
Featuring a combination of precast concrete, aluminum panel systems,
structural glazing and curtainwall on the facility’s exterior, the 126,000-
sq.-ft. tower houses emergency, surgical and maternity areas.
The most unique characteristic of this five-level tower is its cast-in-place concrete frame, a rare
commodity in California. In order to meet the state’s seismic regulations, a typical hospital tower
incorporates a structural-steel frame. Concrete, however, was chosen for this building’s frame to
provide adequate room above the ceiling in order to accommodate extensive MEP systems. The
concrete-frame solution met all seismic regulations and also facilitated matching the floors in the
new facility with the floors in the existing adjoining building.
One of the most pressing challenges this project presented was a demanding construction
schedule and the need to complete significant renovation work in the occupied adjoining tower.
Quotable:
“I’ve worked with a number of well-known contractors and McCarthy is one of the few firms that
could have pulled off this project.”

Inspiring Work for the Animals: Animal Health, Research and
Conservation Center, Los Angeles Zoo
Architect: NBBJ
General Contractor: BMP Group
The function of the building and forces of the site directly
influenced the architecture of this 35,000-sq.-ft. center, which
replaced the original non-compliant animal health facility built in
the 1960s.
The new center houses five major components: a hospital, animal
ward, quarantine area, animal commissary and new administrative
and research building.
The hospital and animal wards on the right side of the zoo’s entry road are complemented by the
isolated quarantine wards on the left and are spanned by the steel-framed bridge containing
administrative offices. This bridge houses all of the offices for the veterinary staff and provides a
critical internal link between two program elements that are required to be kept physically distinct,
yet accessible to veterinary staff.
The new surgery unit contains advanced medical equipment and a hydraulic-lift surgery table that
can support animals up to 2,000 pounds. Advanced diagnostic and imaging technology is provided,
along with surgery suites designed for a diverse and aging animal population. Specialized
environments for species requiring wet, dry or combined environments are also included. The
research laboratories allow the veterinary staff to participate in joint research projects with local
universities and scientific institutions. Key areas of study are genetics, endocrinology and nutrition.
Quotable:
“In my view, the work of architecture has been exhaustive, inspired and as inclusive of everybody's
ideas as can be conceived.”

Cleverly Conveying the Brand: Gray Cary Ware & Friedenrich
LLP, San Francisco
Architect: RMW Architecture & Interiors
General Contractor: DPR Construction
The law firm’s new office has a captivating loft-like vernacular
comprised of exposed concrete and under-floor mechanical and
electrical distribution systems.
To help control construction costs, an interconnecting staircase
opening is strategically positioned in the post-tension slab
adjacent to the concrete pour strip, which minimized the number
of tendons cut.
The large floor plate, with separate elevator and restroom cores,
posed several design challenges.
A circular reception plaza, located in the center of the floor plan,
welcomes office visitors. A perforated-metal raised-floor “bridge”
and an undulating fabric ceiling connect the elevator core to the
reception area.
RMW worked closely with DPR Construction to provide Gray Cary with cost analysis for design
alternates in the schematic and design development phases. A menu of options allowed the project
team to prioritize functional and aesthetic needs within the project budget.
Quotable:
“Gray Cary's reputation as a leading edge practice is reflected in every facet of the work we do,
including the design of our offices. RMW's expertise in law firm design and creative approach
helped us convey our brand to appeal to our client’s aesthetic.”

An Intelligent Break From Tradition: Learning Resource Center,
Mission College, Santa Clara
Architect: MBT Architecture
General Contractor: Lathrop Construction Associates
Community colleges have unique needs that often require special
solutions. The 39,000-sq.-ft. Learning Resource Center in the
Silicon Valley is a prime example.
The layout and organization of the LRC is more open, inviting and
accessible than traditional academic library designs. The building is
in a highly visible location—the college’s entrance, where a
concrete open book both defines the building’s function and draws
attention to its purpose.
Once inside, the space is clearly organized and user-friendly. Help
desks and service counters are placed on main circulation routes. Reference volumes, videotapes
and other traditionally protected materials are placed in self-service locations, while periodicals are
displayed adjacent to casual reading areas.
The LRC also houses a telecommunications facility, while the building itself provides a needed
boundary for a grassy area where students can talk, study or just relax.
The structure was sited adjacent to the existing main building and campus center in conformance
with the college’s master plan. The LRC completes the first of the academic quadrangles
envisioned in the plan. Building elements align with existing paths, define outdoor-use areas and
contribute to a sense of place.
The LRC has two distinct natures: It is a digital-era repository of information and an important
source of social interaction for the campus. This delineation is evident in the building organization.
Functional areas are clearly expressed and given distinct character. Variation within a unifying
theme occurs through changes in volume and material and relative degrees of openness and
enclosure.
Quotable:

Dignified yet Welcoming: Roseville Civic Center, Roseville
Architect: Williams + Paddon Architects & Planners
General Contractor: McCarthy Construction
The Roseville Civic Center expansion not only creatively surrounds the
existing 17,457-sq.-ft. City Hall, but also serves as a catalyst for the
city’s goal of revitalizing its urban core.
The 53,447-sq.-ft. project was completed for $14.1 million, including
$3.5 million for utility relocation and infrastructure improvements.
The primary purpose of the building was to provide a central location for
all permit processing and bill payment functions for city customers.
While the “one-stop” permit center is designed to meet the business
needs of Roseville, the block-wide plaza will serve as a central
gathering place for residents and visitors.

The forms and materials are designed to express the city’s request for a statement of “aggressive
humility” for this community of 92,000 residents, while at the same time clearly expressing civic
purpose. Plaster- and limestone-clad walls flank the rotunda—a classical expression of civic
function in America and the western world. The building marks its place in time in the new century,
but, at the same time, is respectful and deferential to the relatively simple pre-World War II context
of Vernon Street—Roseville’s main thoroughfare.
Dignified yet welcoming, rich in character, but of modest budget, were the dominant themes that
emerged from a very public programming and design process.
Quotable:
“It’s such a pleasure to hear people tell us what a beautiful building it is and that finally Roseville
has a civic center that reflects the spirit of our community.”

The Capital’s Crown Jewel: Capitol Area East
End Complex Phase 1, Sacramento
Architect: Johnson Fain
General Contractor: Hensel Phelps Construction Co.
Located at the easterly terminus of Capitol Park, the project is a multi-block, mixed-
use office development that consolidates three major departments of state
government.

About 6,400 employees in the departments of health services, education and general services will
be housed in a five-building, 1.5 million-sq.-ft. development that includes 1,500 parking spaces.
Public amenities include retail shops and services, a community police station, 300-seat auditorium
and child-care center with outdoor play area. The project’s features respond to energy efficiency
and green building standards established in Assembly Bill 2432.
Sited directly on axis with the historic, gold-domed Capitol within the existing city street grid, the
project reinforces the intent of the original city plan. By extending Capitol Park deep into the
complex as a core amenity, the design defers to the civic preeminence of the park, increases public
open space and reinforces the relationship between the park and a diverse neighborhood.
Although embodying the dignity of state government, the design avoided a monumentality that
would have competed with the Capitol. Highly articulated building forms scale downward toward the
surrounding low-rise commercial and residential neighborhood, responding to the master plan and
urban design framework established for the area
Quotable:
“It makes use of abundant natural lighting and even allows employees to control their own
environment by adjusting a unique under-floor air distribution system.”

Unflagging Customer Focus: Gold Pointe Corporate Center,
Rancho Cordova
Architect: Forrar Williams Architects Inc.
General Contractor: Panattoni Construction Inc.

Gold Pointe Corporate Center is a Class A, four-building complex consisting of two- and three-story
structures. The 378,700-sq.-ft. business park is situated on 23.5 acres.
The land was initially purchased with the intent of using it as a corporate campus, but the slumping
economy changed that plan. With one building completed, Panattoni Construction took over the
construction of three future buildings, with the second building already designed to mirror the first.
With Panattoni’s highly skilled teams working on value and design engineering, it was able to
rework the designs and save the owner approximately 34% of the original building’s construction
costs.
The third building is a 150,000-sq.-ft., three-story steel-frame structure. It has concrete panels,
punched window openings and extensive use of glass curtainwalls. Including tenant improvements,
it was completed within 10 months.
The fourth building is a 64,500-sq.-ft., two-story building with the same specifications. It was
completed in 12 months.
Panattoni Construction exceeded client expectations throughout this project, primarily with its ability
to build strong client relationships and respond to the tenant’s needs. The project was under budget
and on time for both the shell and tenant improvements phases, even with an extensive value-
added program.
Quotable:
“Panattoni exhibited unflagging customer focus and was adept at handling schedule-related issues
and last-minute client change orders.”

The 1 million-sq.-ft. Pechanga Resort and Casino, one of California’s largest hotel/casinos, was
completed 83 days ahead of schedule, due primarily to the successful use of the partnering
process.
The 13-story hotel tower is clad in concrete panels to simulate large stone blocks. The interior
theming uses many natural materials—including stone and wood—that reflect the surrounding
landscape and important elements of the tribe’s history.
The interior design is dominated by a geometric motif of oblique angles and incorporates
abstractions of tree and plant forms sacred to the tribe. The exterior skin of the building is painted in
a warm color scheme of light gold, beige and brown, coupled with patterns indigenous to the tribe.
The early completion of the challenging, multiple-component resort is a true testament to the high-
level of skills exhibited by the entire construction team.
Owned by the Pechanga Band of the San Luiseno Indians, the Pechanga Resort and Casino also
consists of an 88,000-sq.-ft. casino, 40,000 sq. ft. of convention space (with a 24,000-sq.-ft. grand
ballroom), seven restaurants and a 1,200-seat theater.
Other eye-catching features include a sparkling swimming pool, retail space and a central plant.
Quotable:
“The whole team has exceeded expectations, in the fact that we were 83 days ahead of schedule
and within budget.”

Nothing but Praise: Pacific Sunwear of California, Anaheim

Architects: DeRevere & Associates, H. Hendy
General Contractor: Oltmans Construction Co.
A staggering economy has done little to get in the way of the
phenomenal growth of Anaheim-based Pacific Sunwear: its profits were
up 79% in the third quarter. And as long as pre-teens and teens keep
gobbling up its clothes at a mall near you, the retailer will have a need to
expand.
Oltmans Consruction Co. recently finished Pac Sun’s 480,000-sq.-ft.
office/distribution complex on a 19-acre parcel in Anaheim, just 3 mi.
from its former headquarters. The warehouse facility (300,000 sq. ft.)
doubles the size of the former site. With 180,000 sq. ft. of office space,
the new location is three times the size of the older site.
The three-story tilt-up office portion has a 60,000-sq.-ft. building footprint. Tenant improvements
included executive offices, a fully-equipped kitchen, cafeteria, multi-purpose room, 350-seat
auditorium and conference rooms. Custom finishes were used throughout the entire facility.
The distribution center includes a 60,000-sq.-ft. working mezzanine and 20,000-sq.-ft. warehouse
office. The warehouse features a 30-ft.-clear height with ESFR fire system and extensive conveyor
and material handling rack systems.
“When you look at these buildings, they reflect the skill, professionalism and expertise of some very
talented people,” said Greg Weaver, Pac Sun chairman and chief executive officer. “It is definitely a
project Oltmans can be proud of. We know we are.”
Quotable:
“The entire construction team did a truly outstanding job on our new facilities. We have heard
nothing but praise for it from day one. From initial concept to turnkey, it has been a first-class job.”

Excitement on Campus: Oaks Christian High School, Westlake
Village
Architect: Fields Devereaux Architects & Engineers
General Contractor: Hartley Construction
Fields Devereaux Architects & Engineers had its hands full with this project.
The firm provided complete architectural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing
and telecommunication services for a project that included new construction
and a seismic retrofit.
Originally constructed in the mid-1960s as a military research, engineering
and manufacturing complex, the project entailed selectively demolishing and
seismically strengthening the 120,000-sq.-ft. structure to create a new
school for 1,200 students.
The focal point of the campus is a large student quadrangle, formed by the
school building, gymnasium and a future performing arts building. The quadrangle provides a
gathering place for student events.
The existing terrain of the 16-acre site sloped severely and was modified significantly to provide
three main terraces. The terraces provided space for a new gymnasium and locker room building,
Olympic-sized swimming pool, athletic fields and a two-level parking structure for 275 vehicles. A
3,000-seat football and track stadium was adroitly positioned on an existing hillside.
Quotable:
“Throughout the project, Fields Devereaux performed in a professional manner on a very complex
project. The design was unique and we are very excited about the end product. Many who have
toured the campus feel the same way.”

Making the Dream a Reality: The Salvation Army Ray & Joan
Kroc Corps Community Center, San Diego
Architect: Austin Veum Robbins Parshalle
General Contractor: Roel Construction Co.
The innovative, 12-acre educational/recreational complex is host to a
number of spectacular facilities:
A regulation-size ice arena and gymnasium with a professinal-size
basketball court. An aquatic center with a 25-meter swimming pool,
therapy pool and children’s recreation pool. A high ropes course and
rock climbing wall. A football-field-length recreation field.
Other buildings in the 110,000-sq.-ft. first phase house a family services
department, the Head Start child development center, an indoor 12,000-
sq.-ft. skateboard park and administration offices.
This multifaceted project provided many coordination challenges that had the potential to hinder
construction. To minimize these impacts, Roel Construction assigned a team to establish a
preconstruction budget with the owner and architect and created separate internal and
subcontractor teams to focus on site construction. The result was a well-executed project that met
the mandatory completion date for the owner’s grand opening ceremony.
The project embodies the community-enrichment ideals of The Salvation Army and philanthropist
Joan Kroc, whose generous donation made this dream a reality.
The architect, Austin Veum Robbins Parshalle, provided a playful and unconventional design to
what would normally result in a more institutional appearance.
Quotable:
“The way Roel has approached the construction challenge, by assigning different crews, project
managers and forepersons to each venue, has proven very effective in staying on schedule. Joan
Kroc had the dream and Roel had the experience and determination to make the dream a reality.”

Conquering a Barren Site: Westview High School,
Rancho Penasquitos
Architect: NTD Architects
General Contractor: Douglas E. Barnhart Inc.
Westview High School was constructed by general contractor Douglas E.
Barnhart Inc. Located in the burgeoning Rancho Penasquitos area of San
Diego County, the sprawling school encompasses 211,000 sq. ft. in 18
buildings on a 71-acre lot. Construction of the campus took just 22 months
and cost $57 million.
In addition to the massive size and scope of the project, the majority of
construction took place while the surrounding neighborhoods were
underdeveloped and lacking all city utilities, necessitating the use of diesel
generators and water trucks. Communication systems were challenged
due to the lack of e-mail and traditional phone systems. Wireless satellite
systems were set up to ensure communication flow. Utilities were not
made available to the site until seven weeks before the school actually opened. Access roads into
the site were few and far between; Barnhart had to build a small tributary to bring large equipment
to the site.

In addition to the logistical challenges and large scope of the project, the innovative design by NTD
Architects is a testament to the modern nature of the school. The 45 classrooms and 12 science
labs are outfitted with the latest in DVD, cable and Internet cabling. Placement of the classrooms in
each of the buildings, which is surrounded by a central core, allows for independent study time.
Collapsible walls can be opened between classrooms, allowing teachers to combine classes as
needed. Even the 10,000-sq.-ft. library features such conveniences as ATM machines and a
proposed bank branch.
Quotable:
“Westview was in the middle of nowhere. It was amazing that Barnhart was able to do it.”

Energizing an Aging Center: Mt. Shasta Mall, Redding
Architect: MCG Architects
General Contractor: Roebbelen Contracting
The client’s objective for this tired center was clear: create a new image would
draw people to this location as a destination resort, rather than having them drive
by on their way to newer, more innovative neighboring centers.
MCG achieved these goals by energizing the mall with a major renovation plan
and identity program that added a creative ambience.
In-line shops and pedestrian corridors were replaced with a new curvilinear
design, pedestrian living rooms and festiveplazas. A new food court and central
court were also added.

The mall’s major tenants received a facaded modernization, while new mall entries were designed,
emphasizing the fluid forms of the architectural detailing and graphic programs.
The success of this program can be attributed to the owner’s commitment to detail and form.
MCG exceeded client goals by re-inventing this shopping experience through multiple design
layers. Architecture, interior furnishings and graphics re-established the mall as a unique
destination resort for shopping and community gatherings.
Quotable:
“Since the remodel, this center has turned into a true destination as we continue to fill vacant space
with name-brand retailers. It’s absolutely phenomenal.”
