Bakar BioEnginuity Hub

Sandy Wong — Fri, 20 Dec 2019 20:03:20 +0000

��ѿTV provided GC services for the Bakar BioEnginuity Hub at UC Berkeley by creating research facility space and seismically rejuvenating the 47-year-old University Art Museum. The project scope included construction of a full-service life science incubator which included private labs for enterprises desiring more dedicated space, and wet and dry open lab benches for faculty and student researchers. Work also included a single-story, glass-enclosed addition, which adds 6,600 SF of office space to support the research function. ��ѿTV self-performed exterior building preservation, fencing, and grouting, which was painstakingly installed to a high level of architectural detail. The project achieved LEED Gold certification.

Within the 40,000 SF incubator is the provision of extensive equipment and laboratory space so that teams can test, develop, and grow their game-changing ideas. Fledgling ventures can lease as little as a single lab bench or half of a freezer shelf, while larger companies can access state-of-the-art equipment for the fields of therapeutics, diagnostics, research tools, agriculture and food tech, and more.

��ѿTV provided design-build services for the historical renovation, seismic upgrade, and expansion of one of the oldest buildings at Stanford University. Originally built in 1902, the four-story building is a key component of the university’s long-range vision to create a new biology/chemistry quad on campus. The sandstone structure features state-of-the-art bio/chemistry and organic chemistry teaching laboratories, along with a new library combining biology, chemistry, statistics and mathematics. An underground addition contains a lecture hall and a 300-person auditorium with a walkout terrace above. The team also performed the installation of site utilities and a filtration basin along Lomita Drive. The project achieved LEED Gold certification.

UCSF Clinical Science Building

Lauren Wesson — Tue, 26 Dec 2017 23:55:50 +0000

The scope of work on this historic, 109,000 SF building for future classroom, meeting, and academic work space included demolition and abatement; seismic upgrades; historic restoration; a new entry way; interior construction including MEP, data and telecommunications cabling; building site landscape; and FF&E. Construction took space on the busy UCSF Parnassus campus next to an active medical center. The project achieved LEED Gold certification.

UOP Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry

Joel Boardman — Wed, 10 Sep 2014 23:51:08 +0000

Conversion of the former Wells Fargo Data Center in downtown San Francisco into the new Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry. The dental school occupies approximately 225,000 SF of the building and features interactive classrooms, clinical examination floors, and offices. The remainder of the building is being leased to outside tenants.

The construction scope involved replacement of the exterior cladding with new high-performance glazing; reconfiguration of the building entry to make it more visible and inviting to pedestrian traffic; installation of escalators between the first and second floors to bring dental patients to the clinical floors; all new MEPFS systems; and state-of-the-art dental equipment for research, teaching, and training. The project achieved LEED Gold certification.

Berkeley Art Museum & Pacific Film Archive

Joel Boardman — Thu, 04 Sep 2014 17:30:02 +0000

Designed by world-renowned architecture firm Diller Scofidio + Renfro in partnership with EHDD, the new Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive is a dynamic combination of the 1939 Art Deco-style University of California printing plant and a new addition encased in a sweeping metal skin. The project involved complex shoring and underpinning to renovate the existing 50,000 SF building and construction of the 30,000 SF addition. The new facility features museum galleries, PFA film theater, viewing rooms, a seminar room, a participatory arts lab, library film study center, works on paper study center, a cafe and store, and administrative offices and back-of-house operations. The project achieved LEED Gold certification.

UC Berkeley Giannini Hall

Sandy Wong — Tue, 20 Aug 2019 22:16:47 +0000

��ѿTV performed the seismic retrofit and renovation of this historic building and home to UC Berkeley’s College of Natural Resources. Work included structural and non-structural demolition and abatement; seismic upgrades including new interior shear walls and thickening of existing exterior walls and enlargement of footings; historic restoration; new construction; interior construction including MEP, data and telecommunications cabling; and site landscaping. ��ѿTV self-performed doors, frames, and hardware, which were salvaged and reinstalled along with wainscot and thresholds. Giannini Hall achieved LEED Silver certification.

UCSF Osher Building

Thu, 07 Aug 2014 22:05:35 +0000

Design-build delivery of a five-story, 48,000 SF building to house two major UCSF groups: the Osher Center for Integrative Medicine and the UCSF Medical Center Division of General Internal Medicine. The building program includes clinical examination and consultation rooms, reception areas, administrative offices, research space, and conference and meeting rooms. The project received LEED Gold certification.

UC Berkeley Silver Lab

Sandy Wong — Fri, 26 Jan 2024 22:52:01 +0000

The Silver laboratory building, located in the hills above the UC Berkeley campus houses the UC Space Sciences program. The 44,900 SF academic facility contains wet and dry labs, computer labs, offices, a library, and a high bay manufacture area. ��ѿTV replaced the entire façade including EIFS, windows, curtain wall systems, louvers, and building entrances. This phased project was completed while the building remained fully occupied without interruption to university teaching and research.

UC Berkeley Weill Hall

Dave Jeffrey — Fri, 17 Mar 2023 00:43:38 +0000

In 2021, ��ѿTV removed the sixth floor laboratory drains and associated piping and installed new, larger floor sinks, polypropolynene piping, and resinous flooring in UC Berkeley’s Department of Molecular & Cell Biology at Weill Hall. This project included the demolition of existing laboratory equipment and installation of new equipment. Each of the 12 phases consisted of the relocation and re-housing of research animals to allow for the construction and renovation of the facility, which required close coordination with the end users and researchers.

��ѿTV returned two years later to renovate the facility’s basement, first, and second floors. The basement renovation consisted of modifications to the layout and finishes in several animal housing areas as well as the installation of four new fan coil units with associated chilled water piping. The first and second floor renovation consisted of the construction of a new building entrance with a two-story decorative metal panel system above a new canopy and storefront, new finishes at multiple lab entries, full lobby refurbishment on both floors, and updated finishes throughout the corridors, restrooms, and in multiple conference rooms and offices. ��ѿTV self-performed soft demolition, finished carpentry, rough framing, and drywall.

USF Dorraine Zief Law Library

Joel Boardman — Wed, 10 Sep 2014 23:55:57 +0000

New construction of a state-of-the-art law library for the University of San Francisco’s School of Law. Built on a tight hillside in an urban setting, and with the surrounding school buildings remaining in operation throughout construction, the project required sensitive and detailed planning from demolition and site preparation through construction. The three-story, 60,000 SF library houses classrooms, lecture halls, seminar and conference rooms, a moot court room, student lounge, clinics, faculty and administrative offices, student service facilities, and underground parking.
