2006 Tilt-Up Achievement Award Winner :: Office Division
Submitted by: Oltmans Construction Co.
Needing additional space quickly, the owner selected Tilt-Up for this facility because of its speed of construction and cost-effectiveness. The contractor employed widely regarded concrete installation techniques using laser-guided equipment to deliver a structurally solid building in earthquake prone southern California.
The unique infrastructure of the buildings included specialized cabling for the lab and the acoustic ceilings that needed to reduce noise and vibration from equipment. It was important to increase some base flooring and wall depth in order to help keep the disruptions from the computer equipment minimized.
Another challenge was deciding how everything was going to be cabled for both power and the networks. The result was a sophisticated cabling system that kept cables out of the way while making it easy for engineers to connect, disconnect and move equipment within the complex as needed.
The primary color palette of blue, caramel, gold and black was utilized in all aspects of the project. A dramatic glass curtain wall framed by the offset eastern façades of the other two buildings marks the main entry lobby. Floor-to-ceiling glass-enclosed walkways connect the buildings and 9-foot ceilings with floor-to-ceiling windows create a dramatic effect.
