SL11024 STUDENT HOUSING LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA

+

Through its materiality and form, LOHA’s design for SL11024, a student housing complex on the border of UCLA’s campus, seamlessly engages its historically sensitive site and challenging hillside topography and creates a new model for urban development that enriches an academic community.

Sited opposite Richard Neutra’s Strathmore Apartments in the Westwood neighborhood of Los Angeles, this residential complex of 31 units and recreational amenities pays homage to its preeminent neighbor while providing the community with much-needed housing for students.

By splitting the building into two volumes, LOHA was able to efficiently integrate the structure’s overall massing with the existing landscape and define a clear circulation path through the property.

The building’s volumes shift downward along the street’s natural incline and reach their lowest height directly across from Neutra’s modernist landmark.

Qualifications & Expertise 1. Experience in higher education, including community colleges, state colleges, and universities Aedis Architects: Higher Education institutions are large, complex organizations that are governed democratically, often with a matrix of decision makers that “share” authority. Your design firm should have a familiarity and comfort with this environment, who can build these processes into a schedule, and are prepared to provide the level of service it requires. We understand the particular needs of community colleges —from planning and financing, to specific regulatory and permitting requirements, and on to the challenge of working with many stakeholders and administrative authorities—to create the consensus needed to provide great buildings that serve a range of needs over decades and even centuries. Coordinating and communicating with the many authorities and stakeholders involved in campus buildings is a challenge for many colleges. We regularly work with business officials on up college presidents, while also coordinating a wide array of subconsultants and permitting authorities. From the beginning, on out to close-out, we work with funding agencies and DSA to assure the college accesses best resources for its projects.

As noted earlier in this document, Aedis has designed and successfully taken through DSA submission and approval of more than $350 million in higher education capital improvement and modernization projects. Our community college and university clients include:

San Jose State University California State University (East Bay) Foothill-De Anza Community College District San Mateo County Community College District San Jose-Evergreen Community College District

Aedis Architects has been working in the higher-ed world for more than 6 decades, working at both the community college and university level. We have worked witha variety of Community College Districts in the past, and we are currently working with the San Jose Evergreen CCD, Solano County CCD, College of Marin, and Cabrillo College. We have also partnered with sub-consultants who have extensive experience. Together Aedis and LOHA combine to offer extensive experience in higher education design, and multi-unit housing design.

Lorcan O’Herlihy Architects (LOHA): LOHA’s extensive experience in higher education student housing and campus projects gives us the acumen and expertise to successfully address the inherent complexity and deliver a functional yet inspired solution that exceeds of all your project goals. We have worked with universities in a multitude of capacities – from planning to execution - to accommodate on-campus and off-campus housing. This experience ranges from private public partnership (PPP) projects involving private development entities in which universities subsequently purchased the projects to building student housing developed directly by university clients for student and faculty use.

Our recent student housing experience includes the UC Santa Barbara San Joaquin Student Housing project, UC Los Angeles Granville1500 Medical Student Housing and Mixed-Use project, and UC Los Angeles Westgate1515 Student Housing and Mixed-Use project.

We have also worked in private student housing with our SL11024 student and faculty housing project, which is situated on the border of the UC Los Angeles campus.

Our work includes additional projects for university clients, including a design build competition for the University of California, San Diego Living and Learning Neighborhood, which is designed to bring 2,000 beds and academic spaces for the arts, humanities, and social sciences to the campus and the new Sandi Simon Center for Dance at Chapman University, currently under construction.

2. Knowledge of K – 14 construction in California, including understanding and knowledge of Field Act requirements, as related to construction in community colleges.

Aedis Architects: Field Act requirements are the guide by which we design every building, due to our education specialty. The Field Act applies to the design, construction and renovation of all community college buildings in California, and is enforcement powers are delegated to the Division of the State Architect (DSA) per Ed Code 17310 and 81142, regulated by the California Building Code (Title 24). Key to understanding the Field Act as it applies to Community Colleges is recognizing what the Administrative Code, Chapter 4 and 5, does and does not require to be reviewed by the Division of the State Architect – cost thresholds and project types.

Student Housing - Information Packet August, 2022

3. Expertise with budgeting, cost and quality control methods.

Aedis Architects: Aedis has over 60 years of project estimating experience. Our basic methodologies have been developed and proven over the years. You can be assured that at no point will Aedis consider its planning efforts done at any stage if the current estimates exceed the budget. Typically, we work with third party cost estimating firms to generate estimates, or as a peer review of our own work. We will work closely with the District and our own sub-consultants to ensure that budget and quality standards are met. We will include design and construction contingencies appropriate to the stage of development, to ensure your budget is protected. Experience has taught us that no estimate can predict precisely what a price will be, but it can serve as a basis of decision making during both design and in construction.

Aedis, considering the methods and mindset described above, is completely willing to commit to the validity of an estimate provided, as a reflection of an architect’s standard of care in the prediction of the future. Quality Control is infused into all aspects of our professional education operations, from design and project management to construction administration. It is applied firm-wide as well as at the level of each project. The key aspects of ensuring that our services and documents meet the highest industry standards are: Staff Continuity — Having the same team from beginning to end of a project ensures that knowledge gained in earlier phases is not lost in subsequent project execution.

19

Building Information Management — We use our experience and integrate our process with that of our consultants and the builder to result in a lean and seamless process.

Team Coordination Process — each milestone, we schedule a comprehensive team coordination meeting, which may last a half day to a full day. Participants review the latest design documents in advance and come to the meeting with a list of unresolved issues.

Workload — Aedis commits to be transparent about our workload and will endeavor to not take on projects from River Delta that it cannot sensibly execute in a responsible manner. We are a busy and growing firm, and will find ourselves at times challenged by converging deadlines or a shortage of manpower in the market. We will work openly with the District to manage expectations and maintain an acceptable standard of care.

Minimizing Change Orders — We recognize that during construction, time is of the essence and we strive for timeliness and progress as we review any changes or clarifications that arise.

Construction Administration — Timely responses to Contractor concerns or confusion, detailed record keeping, assisting and facilitating completion of the Sections and Blocks of the Inspection Card to do what we can to keep the job on track, and delivered at a high quality.

“

Close-out Processes — Our DSA-closeout staff has had a track record of closing projects out with certification within three to six months of receiving the Notice of Completion. We have certified more than 200 projects in the last 5 years. We have a full time close-out team led by DeeDee Mendez (quote below) who is well known in both the Sacramento, and Oakland offices if DSA, and is appreciated by all of our clients. Very nearly all of the work Aedis does in the educational design space is subject to Division of the State Architect review. We are confident in our ability to complete and certify our projects.

4. Philosophy of designing within budget with examples.

Aedis Architects: Responsible stewardship of your budget by finding best-value design solutions is our fundamental responsibility. Throughout the design process, from concept design through construction documentation, we continually strive for more efficient and cost-effective building layouts, systems, and materials.

Our standard practice is to engage an independent third-party professional estimator to provide detailed cost estimates from a very early point in the design process. As the design progresses, these estimates are reconfirmed, developed further, and refined.

Cost estimates always include critical factors such as contingencies, cost escalation, construction phasing and project delivery approach.

“

Constructability Review — Having a fresh set of eyes, with considerable construction experience, to provide feedback on project design ensures that we minimize construction problems.

DeeDee is great! I really appreciate her gentle reminders that a form is ready for signature and her communication with DSA about the status of the Project during close out. It really helps out a lot.

-Michal Healy Santa Clara Unified School District Director, Facility Development and Planning

We manage budget and design effectively to avoid the need for significant value engineering that has the tendency to compromise program and/or degrade project quality. Our strategies include: Set realistic expectations: We work with the client right at the beginning to establish an appropriate relationship between the project’s scope and available budget.

Setting realistic expectations help avoid surprises and disappointment later in the process.

Set appropriate level of complexity: the level of complexity is one of the greatest factors influencing cost.

A more restrictive budget requires a simpler approach, while a less restrictive budget can afford more complex forms, systems, and materials.

Early intervention: we monitor cost evolution constantly and step in early to make adjustment before things get out-of-hand.

Lorcan O’Herlihy Architects (LOHA): LOHA believes that great architecture demands that design, finance, and technology work together. We’re combining these forces in innovative ways to create a new model for the profession that, in addition to our diverse skill set and integrated team approach, allows us to offer exceptional capabilities tailored to each project’s needs.

We embrace the idea of creative pragmatism when navigating budgets, schedules, existing spaces, and regulatory parameters, enabling us to balance ideals and practicality. Our open and elastic approach to even the most challenging project parameters yields unexpected and exceptional results. Our design strategies combine ingenuity and efficiency, creating exceptional solutions that are both innovative and enduring.

To maintain budget confidence with the Owner, Aedis much work collaboratively with its design team partners to optimize all aspects of the Project. Our design partner, LOHA has a cost and quality philosophy that is consistent with ours and will prove most beneficial for you.

Student Housing - Information Packet August, 2022

21

From the outset of the design, we proactively engage cost control as a parameter and work to strip away excess in the design. By first establishing an efficient plan, we then seek to develop potential systems and alternatives at an earlier stage to promote long-term value considerations.

These early estimates form a road map for the project and ensure that future components do not get out of control.

We use evolving computer aided design and BIM technologies not only to produce innovative architectural forms, but to streamline the design and construction process and promote efficiencies, responsive to our client’s budgets and technical expectations.

This ethos can be seen in our Granville1500 project, which had a fixed budget and schedule, but faced challenges as the cost of construction rose during the building process. We worked collaboratively with the client to reassess the costs and to accommodate the initial budget without compromising the design.

Ultimately, we were able to build the 153-unit mixed use project with two subterranean parking levels on the initial two-year schedule on budget. This example highlights our commitment to partner with clients to address budgets from the design and development through the construction process.

+

5. Experience and approach to value engineering.

Aedis/LOHA: We strive to avoid the need for Value Engineering, as we are committed to honoring the project budget during the entire development process. To do this, we are constantly evaluating the design with the budget to ensure that best practices are being used and cost-efficient designs are being implemented. Should drastic market changes, force majeure, or unforeseen changes force the team to engage in this process, Aedis will work collaboratively with the District and its agents to adjust scope, quality, or other factors to realign the project to the budget. We will methodically evaluate all aspects of the Project for opportunities to reduce cost without significantly affecting function.

6. Approach and experience with the Division of the State Architect (DSA).

Aedis Architects: Aedis has 60 years of experience working with DSA. We are well aware of their requirements and procedures and have found that working collaboratively with DSA’s representatives, engineers and inspectors yields the timeliest results.

Our nearly 100% commitment to California educational planning and design is unparalleled and as such our systems of project information management, project approval, change tracking and so on are completely designed around the requirements of DSA - Field Act and California Green Building Standards Code requirements, including but not limited to handicap accessibility (ADA), Fire Life and Safety, seismic requirements, structural requirements. During this pandemic, we have staff in regular contact with DSA Sacramento and Oakland offices for continuous online interactions. When projects are particularly complicated or constrained for time, we have been able to take advantage of informal collaborative review processes that give DSA the opportunity to become familiar with the project, make early observations and recommendations, in the hopes that the reviewer has a better understanding of the project when it is submitted for review. We often meet with DSA early in the process to review campus and building planning concepts for early buy-in for future approval. We have conducted these pre-review meetings on numerous projects over the years. In these cases, and in the case of factors that DSA does not review, Aedis and

its sub-consultants are deeply experienced in relevant sustainable design, and design for durability.

We are experts in the requirements and procedures of DSA in preparation for and during construction. We have found that working collaboratively with DSA’s engineers and inspectors has yielded the timeliest results. During construction, strictly adhering to the requirements and procedures of DSA PR 13-01 and PR 13-02 is critical to our success, from the submittal of the DSA 1 form the final certification letter. We request the Project Inspection Cards (DSA 152 IPI) and coordinate with the District’s inspector to submit the DSA 5 or 5 IPI and trigger the creation of the DSABox for the job. Although DSA staff is responsible for a number of critical start-up processes at the beginning of the construction project, Aedis takes care to maintain accuracy and completeness, so as to expedite close-out at the end. We have fulltime permanent close-out staff to focus on this staff.

Throughout the Construction process, we evaluate what does and does not need DSA approval, and process the changes quickly, maintaining constant contact with the inspector and field engineer.

AIA California Council Distinguished Practice Award, and was named #1 Design Firm in the country by Architect Magazine’s Architect 50, an annual ranking of top US architecture firms.

b. Cost Estimating

Aedis/LOHA: We believe that it is our job to act as responsible stewards of school districts’ budgets.

During design, we develop customized solutions aimed at aligning project requirements with design intent and direction and funding availability on behalf of both the design team and the owner. We facilitate planning, prioritization, and evidencebased decision-making by providing continuous and timely management and technical support during design. We provide value engineering leadership and support, and sustainable design support in the form of Life Cycle Cost Analysis (IRR, NPV, and simple payback) and Total Cost of Ownership studies. During construction we evaluate and negotiate bids and change order requests, perform claims reviews, and support settlement decision-making.

7. Experience in and approach to: a. Planning and Design

Aedis Architects: We have always put the client’s priorities and desired outcome first. Aedis is a nutsand-bolts deliverer of quality on-time and on-budget projects. We also strive to build a team that is right for the unique opportunities of a project. In the case of the your Student Housing Project, we believe the perfect pairing for our service model is LOHA’s award winning design acumen. We share a commitment to innovation, and performance.

Lorcan O’Herlihy Architects (LOHA): LOHA’s design strategies combine resourcefulness and efficiency, creating solutions that are both innovative and enduring. Since 1994, LOHA has built over 90 projects across the three continents, earning us an international reputation for design excellence based on our commitment to research, innovation, and performance. LOHA has earned consistent national and international praise with over 100 design awards, including the AIA Los Angeles Firm of the Year, the

c. Bidding and Awarding Construction Contracts

Aedis Architects: Bidding and awarding of contracts is part of our basic services. We will actively assist you in soliciting to bidders and in managing the distribution of plans, specifications, and addenda. We will field questions and respond appropriately during a bid period. We will attend a bid opening and assist in evaluating the completeness and accuracy of bid documentation. We will assist you in evaluating the track record of the “lowest responsible bidder”.

When budget limitations are critical and costs are anticipated to meet or exceed the District budget, we often work with our client to develop bid alternates.

Bid alternates can be either additive or deductive and allow flexibility within the framework of the competitive bid process.

d. Construction Administration

Aedis Architects: Working closely with the client’s project team and construction manager, if any, Aedis and our partner LOHA, will administer the contract to minimize delay and additional costs.

Our primary role, simply put, is to ensure that the design intent and construction documents are executed by the contractor and all jurisdictional processed are followed. Parties meet regularly to monitor construction progress, clarify decisions, and resolve discrepancies related to design interpretation and construction methods. During construction administration phase, the architect can manage and limit project risks by facilitating project communications and maintaining project records.

The architect may be able to identify and correct problems in time to eliminate or minimize negative impact on construction costs and schedule. This phase includes shop drawing and applications for payment review and approval.

e. Project Management

Aedis Architects: Our firms both realize that a successful collaborative effort requires a seamless integration of separate tasks to produce concepts that complement and correspond with one another.

Critical to this is establishing a clear definition of everyone’s role from the outset of the project. This

+

significantly improves communication and helps move the project forward expediently. In addition, establishing dates for the delivery of work early in the process helps to ensure that the project team is collectively working towards specific milestones.

Lorcan O’Herlihy Architects (LOHA): Efficient management of the consulting team is essential. Our past experiences working with developers including Camden, Clifford Beers Housing, Metros Capital, The Platform, Bedrock, among others, continued collaboration on projects with Universities, such as the University of California, Santa Barbara; University of California, San Diego; and Wayne State University, and cities such as Los Angeles, Detroit, Santa Monica, Beverly Hills, and Culver City has given us the know how to engage and successfully coordinate multiple consultants and complex stakeholder interests.

Proficiency in these areas assures the realization of design for efficient construction, realized target budgets, reduced long term maintenance, and operational costs that assure quality and efficiency.

Quite simply, our experience has taught us which people to have in the room at the appropriate time.

8. Approach to modernization projects vs. new construction projects.

Aedis Architects: Planning for and implementing 21st century learning environments is, of course, significantly simpler in new construction than in modernization.

Working with a blank slate, the possibilities are limited only by our collective creativity. A modernization project, on the other hand, requires more resourcefulness and commitment to identifying the physical constraints at the beginning of the design process and evaluating them very critically. We pride ourselves on our reputation for finding terrific opportunities at older campuses such as: durable construction and culturally significant design, to stimulate and facilitate 21st century teaching. Our role is to understand and translate these factors so you can fulfill your role to prepare and educate.

9. Communication with the project team throughout the life of a project.

Aedis Architects: Communication is the key to a smoothly run project. Transparency and timely responses save time and reduce conflicts. Today, we utilize completely digital media on shared cloud-based drives that all parties have fulltime access to. Phone and video records will be stored in the form of notes alongside folders for program matrices, and other written and tabular data. In addition to basic written, email, video and phone communication, the majority of design information will be graphical in nature. Shared digital modeling technology helps avoid Project conflicts and will give you a high confidence that Projects will be built on-time and on budget. The use of these tools enhances communication between the Owner, Architect, Engineers and eventually Contractor

Student Housing - Information Packet August, 2022

to streamline the design process, while reducing coordination and constructability issues. Aedis leverages a variety of software applications including Revit (BIM), Bluebeam and PlanGrid during the design and construction stages of a project. The Aedis Revit (BIM) workflow is a proven collaborative method that yields an increase to the accuracy and quality of construction documents while all but eliminating costly construction coordination issues. Painstakingly developed over the past 19 years, Aedis standard modeling protocols provide a process that integrates the architectural, civil, structural, mechanical, plumbing, electrical, fire protection, and landscape models into a single composite model. Clash Detection is utilized regularly to discover and eliminate costly design coordination errors, especially in the early design development and construction document phases of the project to reduce costs. Upon final DSA approval, the fully coordinated Central model can be distributed alongside the plans and specs amongst the entire project team for development of shop drawings and accurate as-built drawings.

10.Discipline coordination.

Aedis Architects: Aedis works closely with all consultant disciplines throughout the life of the project. Consultants are included in project meetings from day one and serve a vital role in keeping the project on schedule. In addition to holding regular meetings with individual consultants, Aedis will hold all-inclusive meetings with the entire consultant team to ensure progress is being made and goals are being met. If necessary, consultants will also be included in meetings with the District to facilitate immediate and open communication.

11.Philosophy of integrated design, sustainability, and environmental stewardship.

Aedis/LOHA: Aedis and LOHA understand that any new construction or modernization projects completed must reflect a commitment to integrated and sustainable design. With extensive experience in developing project solutions that incorporate sustainable measures, we are eager to help meet all green building goals and metrics. Sustainability is at the core of how we think and practice. At the center of our philosophy is a steadfast commitment to a balanced, integrated, and holistic built environment that encompasses passive strategies, material selection, systems design, development of details, and connections to larger initiatives for promoting long-term sustainability. We believe that sustainable components should enhance the architecture of a building and, in collaboration with our consultants, we will design integrated systems that are responsive to your budgets and technical expectations.

12.Examples of sustainable/green design projects and LEED certification experience.

Aedis/LOHA: Aedis and LOHA are committed to bringing increasingly sustainable design to California’s student body, conserving energy and water, protecting the environment for the next generation, supporting the development of environmental citizenship among students, faculty, staff, and the community.

Aedis produced its first LEED Accredited Professional in 2002 and has encouraged all employees to pursue their LEED AP specialties. Our first LEED Project was in 2008, and since than time we have worked on CHPS and LEED Project including our very own headquarters office in San Jose (LEED Platinum Commercial Interior).

Aedis’ President, John Diffenderfer, led the USGBC NCC Green Schools Committee from 2013-2017, while he presented in California and across the country on Net Zero Energy and Net Zero Water design.

John also participated Years of ZNE as one of the seven projects architects in DSA’s 7x7x7

10+

+

DesignEnergyWater Initiative. We have produced several ZNE projects including a recent New Buildings Institute Project Award winner--Parkside Elementary School Campus for Pittsburg Unified School District.

Aedis worked with the West Valley Community College to develop a LEED accreditation curriculum and an internship program to get students experience on LEED Projects, including pursuing and Existing Building, Operations, and Maintenance (EBOM) certification on one of the campus buildings. We won an award from the California Community College Chancellor’s Office Excellence in Sustainability Teachers and Student Initiative.

Aedis has facilitated the LEED certification of several projects including our own offices as LEED Platinum.

Currently we are completing the Vietnamese Service Center for Santa Clara County, targeting LEED Gold.

Our projects have leveraged many features and techniques to achieve their high performance, included integrated building system and daylight controls, glazing technologies, optimized envelope insulation, building integrated solar, and power storage systems. We have designed rainwater capture systems.

LOHA has received LEED certification for two projects including UCSB San Joaquin Student Housing (LEED Platinum) and MLK Supportive Housing (LEED Silver), a 29-unit affordable community in South LA which will also feature the city’s first graywater reuse system in a multi-family project. With several LEED Accredited Professionals within our team, we strive to implement the fundamentals of sustainability on each project. We aim to address all aspects of resource management in the design, construction, and maintenance over the life cycle of a structure.

13.Incorporating the commissioning process into design requirements.

Aedis Architects: With the advent CalGreen and the 2010 Title 24 requirements, Aedis has been specifying the requirements for new code compliant buildings over 10,000 s.f. We have designed nearly a half-million square feet of new buildings in that timeframe. The commissioning plan is developed based upon the owner’s project requirements to ensure that the building’s energy-related systems are installed, adjusted, and perform to the specifications provided. At a minimum,

the systems that require commissioning oversight are: HVAC, lighting and day lighting controls, hot water systems and renewable energy systems such as PV’s, etc. LEED may involve enhanced commissioning as well. By placing the commissioning requirements under the General Conditions, the general contractor will be responsible for the coordination of all trades, testing, and reporting.

14.Experience with the Design-Build construction delivery method.

Aedis Architects: Aedis has experience with DesignBuild dating back to the early 2000’s with one of the first D-B Community College projects in the State of California: the athletic fields for three colleges for San Mateo County Community College District. Since then, we have been involved in more than a dozen K-14 D-B projects, both from the bridging/criteria document side, and as a member of the Design-Build entity. At San JoseEvergreen Community College District, we were part of the innovative non-bridging D-B team that designed and built (beginning with a loose programming document) the Multi-Disciplinary/Fine Arts Complex.

AEDIS ARCHITECTS Firm History

Aedis Architects is a certified minority-owned, full service architectural firm which has focused on public and educational facilities. Our clients include leading public and private educational institutions, municipalities, and community organizations.

Founded in 1954, Aedis has operated continuously through several generations of leadership. Aedis’ Architects are inventors, thought leaders, and genuinely caring people who have dedicated their creative selves to ensure the quality of educational environments. In our more than 60 years of practice, we’ve learned something about ourselves: we are always learning and changing. We learn because the needs of our communities change, the regulatory environments change, and educational trends change. With a look around California Colleges, Universities and schools, you can see how campus environments reflect the changes over the decades. Today, we design for flexibility, modularity, changing teaching technology, and techniques.

Philosophy and Business Approach

Aedis’s philosophy of “always listening” is apparent throughout our firm’s methodology.

Michelle Netzley

Principal

We see our primary role as your architect is to be a reflector.

We listen attentively to the critical stakeholders, process information; reiterate the findings in the form of design, plans, and ultimately construction documents and a certified project that meets your needs.

In working with your staff, administration, and community groups, always listening will manifest itself almost immediately by asking the Moreland School District to focus on high level objectives, and the measurements for success for each stakeholder group at the outset.

We prefer that a representative “executive committee” is formed to be the conduit back-and-forth to individual stakeholder groups, with power to set priorities and make choices. This committee should include the principal of the school. Faculty and staff representatives may be included. Here the objectives are aligned, and a shared mission is described.
