Phase 1: AlfaTech provided mechanical, electrical, plumbing & fire protection criteria engineering services for the first phase of this project which included 15,000 SF of open offices and classrooms as well as reception area bringing together the school’s three gradua te degree programs into one space. Due to the sensitive nature of the art which will inhabit the space, proper lighting and heating control was crucial to keep the integrity of the student's work. The workspace included oversized desk areas as well as two modular classrooms along with a maker’s space featuring various equipment such as laser cutters, 3D printers and an equipment check o ut area for the students to use in their artistic process. Phase 2: AlfaTech provided mechanical, electrical, plumbing & fire protection criteria engineering services for the 10,000 SF expansion of the Roski School of Art and Design at University of Southern California. The expansion space includes 18 student studios, large open plan professional gallery space, conference room and private offices. This expansion enables the school to present arts programming and public events within the Arts District neighborhood, contributing to the existing creative community. Phase 2 was completed in April 2020
