RIOT GAMES HEADQUARTERS @ ELEMENT LA

Los Angeles, CA

Type: Office Size: 360,000 SF

Located in West LA on Bundy Dr. and Olympic Blvd., The Element LA Media Campus is a repurposing and development on 11.5 acres consisting of 5 buildings totaling 250,000 SF of creative office space and a 255,000 SF stand alone parking structure. An early site work challenge entailed coordinating and keeping abreast of the DWPs process to underground relocate huge, overhead and visually undesirable high voltage power poles, as well as substations impeding the design and project needs. At the time we focused on prepping the buildings utilities to be primed for adaptive reuse and creative office type spaces by increasing system capacities, adding new DDC controls, mechanical systems and a brand new electrical distribution system. Prior to completion of the project, RIOT Games signed a lease on Element LA and released the contract based upon a GMP pricing package which we played an instrumental role in developing so that a solid project budget, construction and permitting schedule could be established. The project consisted of multiple same trade subcontractors working together in conjunction with core and shell scope contractors to meet this fast track schedule. The project consisted of multiple edit bays, 85-seat screening room, 35-seat screening room, global network operations center, global security hub, gaming labs, programming areas, PC bang competition space, Server and IDF Rooms, 750 flexible seating cafe which can double as a thunder dome event space, conference rooms, high density workspaces, recreational areas, libraries, staff bar, brew shops. This project is a true testament to teamwork with the speed and quality of the execution such a complex project.
