CORNERSTONE BUILDING

PORTERVILLE, CA

The Cornerstone Building is located within the heart of Downtown Porterville. The 3-story office building is situated on a 0.38-acre site and features +/- 44,500 square feet of office and retail space. The building was completed in the spring of 2020 and has been designed from the ground up to meet the specific needs of the County Of Tulare District Attorney and Public Defender Offices.

The exterior of the building has a contemporary design with a large picture window, which allows plenty of natural light to flood into the interior spaces. Inside, the building boasts spacious and well-lit offices, conference rooms, and break areas. The design incorporates the latest in energy-efficient technology, including Structural Insulated (SIPS) Panels, LED lighting and HVAC systems to reduce energy consumption and operating costs. The SIPS panels where specified for the main wall and floor assemblies within the building which allowed the construction schedule to be reduced to meet the County of Tulare schedule for opening their offices. The floors were also supported with large open web steel girders that allowed column spans of large distances. The large span between columns allowed the team to design a flexible office layout for the County of Tulare offices as well as provide a flexible space on the ground level for various tenant layout opportunities.

The District Attorney and Public Defender Offices each occupy their own floors, which provides both departments with separate and secure workspaces. To accommodate the sensitive nature of their work, the District Attorney and Public Defender Offices each have their own separate entrances. Each entrance leads to a secure lobby area, which provides access only to the offices of that agency.

Overall, this new office building provides a professional and functional space for the District Attorney and Public Defender Offices, while also ensuring the safety and security of their operations. Its completion on time and on budget reflects the dedication and expertise of the project team and ensures that the building will be a valuable asset to the community for years to come.

NEC OF N. MAIN STREET & OLIVE AVENUE PORTERVILLE, CALIFORNIA

COUNTY OF KINGS BEHAVIORAL HEALTH & HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES OFFICES

HANFORD, CA

The County of Kings Office Building in Hanford, CA is a project aimed at transforming a 110-year-old abandoned hospital into office spaces for county departments. The building, which was built in 1910 and expanded in the 1930s and 1940s, has been idle for almost 50 years. The renovation project involves various structural upgrades, including dropping part of the basement floor slab to gain additional ceiling height at the basement level. Structural improvements also include foundation reinforcement at the area where the floor slab was lowered. Additionally, the interior and exterior will be remodeled, and the site will be landscaped to include additional parking areas and outdoor patios for employees. The building is also being improved with various accessibility and egress upgrades to the exterior and interior.

During the project the design team along with the construction team were involved with addressing many field discovered conditions during construction which required immediate attention and solutions to keep the schedule of the project on track.

The project will be the new home for the County’s Human Services and Behavioral Health agencies, and other smaller county departments that were previously housed off-site from the main government center. The renovation is a significant step towards the consolidation of county services, as well as the preservation of the historic building.

The project is a positive development for the community of Hanford, as it will not only bring a local historic building back to life but also provide job opportunities for the people in the area. The project’s groundbreaking ceremony was held on April 13, 2022, and its completion is expected to represent the “past, present and future” of Kings County.

PORTER’S CROSSING

PORTERVILLE, CA

The Porters Crossing Shopping Center is located at the North-East corner of Henderson Avenue and Prospect Street in the city of Porterville. The shopping center was a site redevelopment project that sits on 1.8 acres of land and includes an in-line pad building with +/- 12,500 SF of retail and restaurant tenant spaces. The design of the building has a contemporary and linear look with projecting canopies and louvered awnings at the main tower elements. Various exterior finishes such as composite wood siding and linear wall tile compliment the architecture of the pad building.

This project helped bring new activity to the North-East corner of the busy intersection and includes various national fast-food tenants such as The Habit, Chipotle and Blaze Pizza. The patios for Blaze Pizza and The Habit have tensile-shade structures for their patio shading which allows customers to enjoy the local outdoor environment. Each tenant space involved planning and providing the necessary utility requirements that each tenant required. The project was completed in a timely manner which allowed the landlord to lease out the majority of the available tenants’ spaces soon after construction of the pad building was completed.
