Industrial Buildings at Office Quality
5.5.08 | Introduction
Most architects are faced with significant competition when they decide to compete for a large industrial facility design project; when the process includes both architects and design-build contractors this competition often becomes both more severe and more polarized. And neither the design firm nor the developer is often able to step out of their metaphor for industrial design quality.

Project Focus: Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center
4.28.08 | In 1994, the Northridge earthquake caused such significant structural
damage to the highly acclaimed UCLA Medical Center that the cost to
repair the damage and retrofit the building was more than double the cost
to replace it, so replace it they did. On March 7th 2008, the brand new
Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center, the most technologically
advanced medical center in the world, held one of its first
pre-openings: a tour led by Lynnette Tedder, Perkins + Will
(founding member) and other members of the design team for AAHID
(American Academy of Healthcare Interior Designers).
Project Focus: Rothstein Kass Picks Kimballs Xsite

Kass and David Liebman, principals, had in mind when they sat
down with David J. Fournier, principal of The Aztec Corporation,
to plan their 71,000 square foot Roseland, NJ, headquarters.
