Bernards has completed a new 25.1k sf, $15.1 mil home for the Santa Monica College (SMC) Technology, Network, and Telecommunications departments. The firm has also broken ground on a new $77.4 mil, 112k sf Student Services Building on the SMC main campus. Both facilities were designed by the Santa Monica office of Morris Architects.
The IT building, which is a LEED® Gold certified new construction/renovation project, included a 14k sf addition and renovation of the 11k sf existing facility. The overall project involved an addition to the existing Library/Media Center to facilitate technology-related functions and to provide access and reconfiguration capabilities to the existing IT facility.
The new three-story Student Services Building will bring all student services under one roof, including Admissions & Records, Financial Aid, Enrollment Development, Assessment, International Education, Disabled Students Programs & Services, Scholarship, Calworks, Extended Opportunity Program & Services, Pico Partnership, Counseling, and various other programs and services. The project, which is scheduled for completion in January 2019, features four interior atriums; a 313-seat auditorium; a 750 sf reclaimed water feature at the outdoor courtyard; a parking information station, vehicular drive and passenger drop-off, and parking concourse connection to the street level, as well as a new three-level, 500 stall subterranean parking structure with bike storage.
Bernards is also under way on SMC’s new Health, Fitness, Dance and Physical Education building on the main campus and Performing Arts Campus East Wing at the SMC Madison Campus, which is located at 1310 11th St in Santa Monica. All projects were awarded to Bernards after a robust prequalification process, followed by a lowest competitive bid process.
The three-story, 63.8k sf Health, Fitness, Dance, and Physical Education building, which was designed to LEED® Silver standards by the local office of Gensler, is located on the main SMC campus and includes a new central plant facility. The building includes classrooms, a fitness center, a climbing wall, dance studios, offices, and locker rooms. The new central plant will provide chilled water to multiple buildings on campus, as well as thermal energy storage (“TES”). The project also includes renovation of 18.8k sf in an adjacent Pavilion.
