DREAMWORKS

Glendale, CA

Type: Office Size: 125,000 SF

When the rapidly growing DreamWorks Animation campus in downtown Glendale, CA needed more space as well as a restack of their existing animation building, we provided an integrated, two phase approach. Phase 1 consisted of the 4 floor, 120,000 SF TV animation building restack and Phase 2, the construction of a 125,000 SF annex. The new 5 floor plus 2 basement level annex building includes offices, approval and digital dailies rooms, a state-of-the-art motion capture theatre, recording studio and editorial suites as well as a remodeled adjacent campus cafeteria. The seamless joining of the annex to the existing campus centralized systems – the chiller plant, water and electrical works – was successfully met while the two buildings smoothly transitioned into an interconnected and fluid work flow. The creative needs and a typical lighting and power usage of the DreamWorks team remained unimpeded as we implemented the electrical, AC, sound and lighting systems, and delivered the $50 million dollar 2-year project on budget amidst evolving Glendale city codes.
