ALFATECH Project Experience

Lucas Museum of Narrative Arts

Los Angeles, CA

TYPE: SIZE:

New Construction, Core and Shell 360,000 SF

ACCREDIATION:

Targeting NZE

The Lucas Museum was conceived with the bold ambition to challenge the way our societies appreciate art museums. Inspired by its resolute mission, the engineering design blasted off with the vision to deliver a lasting, centenarian building in harmony with its site. The carbon zero design harnessed heat and cooling from the soil beneath the museum with over 700 vertical bores. This constituted the deepearth, pulsating aorta of the geothermal field. A second element of nature was introduced by way of a thermally active water pond, which increased the site’s innate cooling capacity. These features were modulated by the high -efficiency, heat recovery central plant that provided all-electric, simultaneous heating and cooling (and no gas-fired boilers). Environmental quality for prime spaces – galleries, state of the art theaters, and lobbies – were controlled with underfloor air-distribution and radiant floors. Smart controls gently nudged temperature and ventilation parameters to adjust to visitors’ comfort. The superstructur e lifted off with an exterior façade that self-shaded the thermal shell, effectively reducing cooling demand. Curved onyxglass organically traced the rooftop which formed the solar PV field. At 365 kW capacity, the renewable energy source reduced an estimated 10 15% of the electricity demand and swung the carbon footprint negative. Ahead of its time, the Lucas Museum will open the doors as an eco- friendly, ‘net zero energy’ -ready museum that gives back to the surrounding community.

Cartoon Network*

Burbank, CA

TYPE: SIZE:

Tenant Improvement 45,000 SF

Cartoon Network comprised of multiple projects within the span of a 2-year period.

We designed a phased replacement of the existing (2) 140 Ton air cooled chiller plant and the heating hot water plant. Building 300 underwent strategic modernization of the office spaces MEP systems which was all completed in a live environment as shut down of the floors were not an option. We designed a phased installation of the cooling system for their existing server room which remained operational during the construction using temporary cooling systems. Detailed site investigation was required to execute this project due to extremely stringent existing site conditions. The Building 303 scope consisted of multiple areas of office space renovation which was completed on a phased approach.

Our experience and ability to advise the client and the team in a leadership capacity was critical to executing this phased and complex renovation.

Warner Bros. Studio Plaza was comprised of multiple projects in a phased approach.

Warner Bros gaming department was relocated to the 9th floor of the building, and modernizations occurred on 12 of the 13 floors to accommodate for an increased occupancy on all floors. The DDC controls within the building were upgraded along with major portions of the lighting on all floors. An extensive study was undertaken to evaluate changing the existing cooling tower system over to reclaimed water.

This was an extremely challenging project in terms of phasing and overcoming existing field conditions, but we were able to provide creative solutions to these complex problems.

Disney TV Group*

Burbank, CA

TYPE: SIZE:

Tenant Improvement, High-Rise 21,000 SF

Disney TV Group revamped the 11th floor of 3800 W. Alameda. The project was forensic in execution from a mechanical perspective, as there were no as-built drawings available.

We surveyed all existing VAV boxes and WSHP's, created existing as-built plans and reused 50% of the existing VAV boxes and WSHP's in different areas of the floor to work with the completely new space plan design in order to aid with keeping the project on budget. The space comprised of edit bays, finishing rooms, master control rooms, VO booths, QC rooms, private offices, open plan office space, conference rooms, server room and collaboration areas. Interesting challenges arose, such as the study of all condenser water usage within the building to figure out creative solutions to provide sufficient capacity to support the 11th floor programmatic needs.

Confidential Technology Client*

Venice, CA

TYPE: SIZE: ACCREDIATION:

New Construction 116,000 SF

LEED Platinum

Google occupies the award-winning Frank Gehry designed outer structure on Main Street in Venice.

The site consists of 3 buildings with 3 different landlords, grouped into one large campus. Everything was initially gutted to the walls, leaving the landmark Gehry “binoculars” intact. A full cafeteria was installed, along with massage suites, workout rooms and an outdoor amphitheater. This building achieved LEED Platinum status. We faced a couple of challenges here in that the infrastructure for the cafeteria was difficult to design and install in the existing configuration on the ground floor, and the project was on an extremely fast-track schedule, in addition to being a LEED Platinum certified structure.

DreamWorks*

Glendale, CA

TYPE: SIZE:

Tenant Improvement 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.
