PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Ground-up, five-story, 127,000 sq. ft. building with a basement. The building features different sized spaces for offices and research labs.
ARCHITECTURAL CONCRETE CAST-IN-PLACE WINNING STRATEGIES
1. DPR coordinated all the electrical and low voltage in the decks so there were no exposed conduits. Our team was able to work with our subcontractors to 3D model all of that scope. Our strategy included heavy coordination with the architect and engineering teams to make sure the design of the systems were complete.
2. With the architectural concrete (Type 1L, nearly white) we had to pay extremely close attention to the supplying of concrete for the pours. We had a DPR repre- sentative at the plant and someone at the jobsite timing each of the trucks to make sure they were leaving on time to eliminate pour lines. We also made sure that the concrete was coming from the same batch to maintain a consistent color.
3. Consistent with #2 we evaluated how quickly we could pour and utilized an addi- tional pump for pours to pour faster and eliminate pour lines.
4. DPR utilized a 3rd party consultant to evaluate our concrete mix designs and work with our team and the concrete supplier to provide an optimum mix design that would perform well on pour day and finish well.
5. Since the floors were polished concrete, DPR coordinated the location of column kickers to fall within interior wall lines so you wouldn’t see the hole patches.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The Pacific Center Campus expansion entails two ground up buildings, a central plant expansion, a 475,000-sq.-ft., 1,570-stall parking structure, and site work. Building AY is a ground up five-story, 370,000-sq.-ft. building containing office and lab space with collaboration and social zones. Building AZ is a ground up two-story 53,000-sq.-ft. amenities building that features a 20,000-sq.-ft. vegetated roof with edible gardens, a 299-seat auditorium for large meetings and presentations, a cafeteria with an inside/ outside dining area, a fitness center and athletic field, and a health center. DPR received the “Commercial Structure” award by the American Concrete Institute in 2017 for our work on Building AZ, as well as ENR Best Project Award for the Office/Retail/Mixed Use Category in 2016. Both buildings achieved LEED-NC Gold certification.
ARCHITECTURAL CONCRETE CAST-IN-PLACE WINNING STRATEGIES This project involved ground-up construction in an operational campus, concrete and steel frame construction, and project complexity requiring multiple functions and phases. DPR prepared site logistics plans and a narrated video for planned campus construction that the client played in other campus buildings. DPR updated site logistics plans as construction continued and held town hall meetings and internal client meetings with DPR personnel communicating what was going on. DPR provided appropriate signage, fencing, and lockout/tagout protocols for planned shutdowns. As-cast architectural concrete structure, highly exposed, and most of the TI infrastructure wanted to be organized & embedded in the structure. Everything needed to line up with concrete formwork joints (mullions, lights, exit signs, etc, etc) and wanted to be embedded in concrete (e.g. electrical feeders) to create a simple, clean look. Detailed contractor input during design phase, including development of LOD400 BIM model, transfer of data from model to GPS field stations to layout & located embedded infrastructure in formwork prior to concrete placement.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
DPR partnered with HKS Architects on this design-build, 101,000-sq.-ft., 4-story, 370-bed new student housing building. Located near the north campus entrance, the building is prominently situated but is also in a dense setting with little-to-no lay-down area. The project includes complete demolition of the existing Webster structure, and construction of a ground-up building in its place.
The new Webster Hall includes 370 beds in single and double rooms, including bath- rooms, common rooms, residence assistant apartments, lounges, recreation rooms, administrative offices, community space, community kitchen, music room, mainte- nance shop and laundry facilities. The project also includes abatement and demolition of existing wood framed student housing buildings. The project is targeting LEED Gold Certification.
The project utilized Digital Building Components to prefabricate the light gauge struc- tural wall and floor panels offsite. This system was proposed to UC Davis by DPR in lieu of traditional wood construction, which converted the building type from Type V to Type II. This improves the occupant safety and durability of the building.

COLLABORATIVE VIRTUAL BUILDING
BUILDING A NEW FRAMEWORK
Providing measurably more value is DPR’s guiding principle in using technology to enhance project delivery. As a long-established leader in Virtual Design and Construction (VDC), we know that technology alone cannot deliver the level of results we have all come to expect. Team members must be able to skillfully use and improve the application of the most relevant technologies to help achieve better value and savings, while creating practical and innovative solutions. Experience has proven that it is a combination of technology and a collaborative ideology, such as integrated project delivery (IPD) or design-build approach, that yields the greatest returns.
