DIRECT TV – LEED PLATINUM

El Segundo, CA

Type: Office Size: 1,000,000SF

DirecTV needed to re-establish itself in a new campus in El Segundo. There was a need to consolidate a number of existing buildings and re-design the network into something that would supply a higher level of amenities for employees, more workspace and allow all to intermingle in a similar culture that would bring more people together as they go through their daily activities. At approximately 1,000,000 sq. ft. and with a total of 4 buildings, the client relied heavily on the decision making capabilities of team, and its ability to phase all the work in such a way that business could be continued in certain areas while heavy construction was occurring in others. AECOM provided architectural and design services, with Jones Lang LaSalle providing overall program and project management. Critical systems like an emergency generator, UPS system and a data center were al brought online and tested rigorously prior to occupancy. DirecTV LA5 was awarded LEED Platinum status in 2014. The campus comprised of various different types of office space requirement, conference center, data center, server rooms, employee campus cafeteria, employee fitness center, DTV main satellite tracking facility, live broadcast venue, digital R&D/ testing labs, interactive lobbies and the implementation state of the art technology throughout the campus.
