Matthew Schwartz and Martin Thaggard Lincoln Property Compan 915 Wilshire Blvd Los Angeles, CA, 90017 Re: USC | Architectural Services - Request for Qualifications

Dear Matthew, Thank you for your consideration of Perkins and Will for the Ground-Up Student Housing Project / Historical Amenity Space Restoration.

The Los Angeles studio of Perkins and Will is made up of individuals who are passionate about improving our communities and creating places that positively impact lives. The everincreasing visible homeless population in our community is a daily reminder of the countless others in the shadows and urgency of this issue. Whether it’s senior citizens, veterans, families or students, we are committed to being as much a part of the solution as we can be.

Our efforts include the programming, planning, and design of over 1,500 beds of affordable/ homeless housing. We approach this crisis with an ‘all of the above” attitude where all ideas and solutions are needed. We stay in touch by regularly attending community meetings, visit with operators and providers to better understand their efforts, stay informed of the latest developments in innovative and alternative housing solutions, and invest in our own research in developing modular furniture systems designed for interim and emergency housing.

We understand that 10-20% of college students are experiencing homelessness and that the Los Angeles design community is rising to the challenge to be of service. To that end, here are unique aspects of our team that we believe makes us the strongest choice for this particular project: njnj Perkins and Will Los Angeles has assembled a team of dedicated, experienced professionals residing within the City of Los Angeles who have each stepped forward with a personal commitment to assist our communities and organizations address the homeless crisis njnj We have programmed, planned, and designed over 2.4M SF in student centers and over 28,000 beds in residential life njnj Perkins and Will has a demonstrated commitment to Social Purpose projects, having provided probono professional services to 20 nonprofits in the last 10 years here in Los Angeles alone

Perkins and Will is committed to being more than consultants to Lincoln Property Company and USC, but true collaborators and trusted advisors. We thank you for the opportunity to be of service to you and to the communities we both serve.

Respectfully submitted,

Experience in Student Housing

Student life facilities are the heart of an academic community.

They must be welcoming for many and a refuge for one; accommodate the diversity of a small city but offer the familiarity of home. Residence life must meet students’ needs and secure their ability to both develop and succeed as global citizens. Plain and simple. Students need a safe and secure environment that is conducive to healthy living and learning, one that provides opportunities and encouragement to grow.

As students become more diverse and the university becomes more

Orchard Commons Client: University of British Columbia ― Size: 448,000 square feet ― Completion Date: 2016 ― Sustainability: Canada NC 2009 Gold Registered ― Awards: 2017, Award of Excellence, Interior Design Institute of British Columbia (Open Kitchen)

A Confluence of Spaces for First-Year Students Combining student housing, academic uses, and amenities into one facility, the intent is to promote diversity and social connection by bringing more activity and life to the heart of the campus.

Drawing students from around the globe, Orchard Commons is home to a diverse group of first-year students, most of whom will be living away from home for the first time. As such, the mandate to cultivate positive social interactions through the fabric of the facility is key.

These factors shaped the planning and a range of ‘social spaces’ have been provided, including three-story interconnected lounges in the two residential towers. Transparency, daylight, and wood are key expressions throughout that support these spaces.

At nearly a half-million square feet, Orchard Commons will provide 1,049 residence beds and dining facilities, with academic and administrative space for UBC Vantage College, an innovative program for international students that combines first-year studies with academic English programming.

Transforming an Urban City Block into a Mixed-Use Academic Village Redeveloping the majority of a city block in the Tenderloin district of San Francisco will create a mixed-use, transformative Academic Village.

Anchored by 900 beds for graduate students and faculty in a range of unit types, each tower – new and renovation – will feature very distinct common spaces. The incredibly diverse podiums include academic classrooms, community engagement spaces, food and retail options, and the YMCA, which will dramatically rejuvenate the urban streetscape.

The heritage 100 McAllister building will be renovated to reallocate the tower for an upgrade and realignment of housing unit types. The church component in the podium will become highly desirable leasable office space in a dramatically renovated and daylit space. The current sealed access along the corner of McAllister and Leavenworth will be reopened and engaged with the community.

Cutter & Ziskind Houses Renovation Northampton, Massachusetts Client: Smith College ― Size: 68,500 square feet ― Completion Date:2014 ― Sustainability: LEED Silver

Sensitive Renovation to Preserve Mid-Century Modern Vibes In 1957, Smith made a radical stylistic departure from the traditional houses by building two new decidedly modernist buildings, the Cutter and Ziskind houses. From their conception they were controversial, as many considered them stark, unwelcoming, and lacking the warmth of the more traditional houses. The opinions on Cutter and Ziskind range from “raze them and start over” to preserve and respect their architectural heritage while addressing issues that any 1957 building has, including worn out systems and building components, energy inefficiency, and updating spaces to support the needs of today’s students.

Smith chose the latter course of action and selected Perkins+Will based upon their depth of expertise in student life and residential life as well as their legacy of respect for modernist design. The renovations restore the mid century heritage of design through color palettes, carpet patterns, and furnishing. In addition to the house dining rooms and kitchens, the project includes a 300 seat dining hall adjacent to a rejuvenated courtyard.

This is why we are committed to being as much a part of the solution as we can be. Our efforts include staying in touch by regularly attending community meetings, visiting with operators and providers to better understand their efforts, staying informed of the latest developments in innovative housing solutions, and investing in our own research in developing modular furniture systems specifically designed for interim and emergency housing.

Any problem that is experienced by 50,000+ people in Los Angeles is a complex issue that requires an “all of the above� attitude. There is no silver bullet to a condition that involves so many, in a place as multi-cultural, multi-national and multi-lingual as Los Angeles. That is why Perkins+Will LA has become involved with a wide range of organizations and project types which span from a city wide effort to provide immediate shelter, to permanent supportive housing, to a village of tiny homes.

Corazon del Valle Panorama City, California Client: Los Angeles County Community Development Commission ― Size: TBD ― Completion Date: 2023 ― Units: 180 Affordable Units ― Population: Homeless / Low-income community

Affordable Mixed-Use Development Casa del Valle represents a nexus between the alleviation of the housing and homelessness crises, high-quality and cost-effective design, and a strong connection to the community. The development focuses on providing high-quality affordable homes to vulnerable individuals and low to lower-income households.

Inspired by the concept of the hill town, a dense and vibrant community stepping and stacking up on itself, the design provides a strong sense of community space, more intimate clusters of units, and access to a variety of green spaces.

The design responds to surrounding context and varying building heights by rising from two levels at the street edge to five at the rear of the site defining a low and porous active street edge, reaching an urban density that belongs to the current context, and will remain contextual in the future as the adjacent sites develop.

Confidential Competition Los Angeles, California Client: Confidential ― Size: 70,000 square feet ― Completion Date: Ongoing ― Units: 51 Permanent Supportive Units ― Population: Homeless Veterans and Seniors

Supportive Housing Competition This project is an innovative architectural response for supportive housing within the City of Los Angeles. It combines the efficiencies of modular construction and offsite prefabrication with the ability to create architecture that is thoughtful and responsive to its surroundings. As a Tier 4 building, it maximizes the unit count at 51 and the number of stories at six above grade.

Pedestrian movement is prioritized along Santa Monica Boulevard and throughout the facility with vehicular access relocated to the alley. Facing Santa Monica Boulevard, the building’s curvilinear form softens the street edge and engages and welcomes those on foot. The main entry into the facility is located to the north and welcomes residents and visitors into a ground floor lobby. While an entry into the community room is provided from the lobby, a separate door directly from the sidewalk is also offered mitigating congestion within the building when larger gatherings occur.

This project is an approach that is sensitive and thoughtful in both plan and section. Beginning from the ‘inside out’, the building function drives the initial planning and begins to inform the architecture. It is influenced from the ‘outside in’ by the adjacent properties and the shape of the property.

Offices and Permanent Supportive Housing Interim housing programs often rely on furniture designed for higher education or detention facilities with the goal to provide a fast and affordable solution, not keeping in mind the needs of the guest.

Throughout our research and visits to various interim facilities, we found that every organization prioritizes privacy, safety, partition heights, common space, bed size, storage, lighting, charging stations, etc. differently.

About Perkins and Will

Experience in Adaptive Reuse Design Now, more than ever, the environmental impact of existing buildings demands our attention.

Adaptive reuse is one of the most sustainable strategies available to us today. These strategies offer tremendous opportunities to learn and build on the past while creating transformative places for the future.

↑ Perkins and Will Atlanta Studio, Atlanta, Georgia Our Atlanta Studio serves as a living lab and educational tool reflecting our environmental commitment to our colleagues, clients and community, our on-going pursuit of design excellence and its value to society.

← The Ferry Building, San Francisco, California The adaptive reuse of the building into a retail and office building included restoring the Nave to create a naturallylit public market hall running the 660’ length of the building.

28

USC University of Southern California

↑ University of Washington, Husky Union Building, Seattle, Washington The original building was constructed in 1949, and its subsequent expansions in 1952 and 1975 had been cobbled together in piecemeal fashion. The renovation and expansion project knits these elements together, creating a single unified center for the University community.

The transformation and reuse of existing neighborhoods, campuses, waterfronts, industrial sites, and buildings are an essential part of our commitment to reducing environmental impact. Adapting and repurposing existing spaces adds richness and nuance to the places in which we live, work, learn, and heal. Today, we are reinventing some of the world’s most iconic buildings and sites. Our approach leverages contemporary design ideas to define new buildings and redefine existing ones, repurpose abandoned infrastructure, remediate brownfield sites, and create open space.

Adaptive Reuse Adaptive reuse entails reinventing existing buildings for new uses. We begin this process by identifying the defining characteristics of a given structure and then imagining how those features might creatively serve other purposes. We always seek ways to respect a building’s original design when making alterations and additions. Our work therefore honors a site’s past while supporting the present and innovating for the future. Our adaptive reuse projects transform entire streets, neighborhoods, and districts, unveiling new opportunities for older spaces, breathing life into abandoned sites, and bringing renewed vitality and opportunity to communities worldwide.

Preservation Historic buildings have enduring architectural and cultural qualities that cannot be replicated today. By preserving important buildings, we recognize and protect the craftsmanship of previous generations, while creatively and sensitively providing

Expansion Providing 110,000 Additional Square Footage This project expands and completely reinvigorates the existing Student Union at San Jose State University, the oldest institution of higher learning in California. Designed by the pioneering Bay Area modernist Ernest Kump as a cast concrete monument to student life, many of the building’s systems were nearing the end of their useful lives.

The project preserves and restores the exposed concrete frame of the original 1969 Kump design, while updating the exterior infill components to align with those of the expansion design.

The use of concrete on the additions complements the original building— the new addition’s language of glass, metal wall panel, and rainscreen is woven through infill sections of the Kump building within the concrete frame, tying the old and new languages together. The campus fabric of outdoor space and pathways is strengthened through newly created outdoor gathering areas for various student programs.

Adapting an Old Dairy Building into a Modern STEM Center The new Troy Hall on Washington State University’s Pullman campus transformed a 1920s dairy building – once home to the WSU Creamery and Ferdinand’s Ice Cream Shop – into a modern interdisciplinary science education and research facility for the Department of Chemistry and the School of the Environment.

This 50,000 square foot, four-story facility was one of the first adaptive reuse preservation projects delivered with design-build in Washington.

The result was a modern facility that restores the historic exterior and reinvigorates the beloved building. The team set out to preserve as much of the original building’s historic character as possible, while also expanding space for the needs of the school.

The new program includes academic instruction, multidisciplinary interaction, and cutting edge research, in order to help WSU respond to their demand for additional STEM program areas. The new design maximizes programmatic research and teaching space while also creating spaces for communication and collaboration across disciplines.

Expansion and Renovation for The transformation of The Center for Sciences and Biomedical Engineering shifts the pedagogy from a classroom plus lab model to an integrated teaching environment, where all teaching occurs in the lab and its surrounding collaboration spaces.

The existing Center for Sciences and Biomedical Engineering was fully renovated and expanded to accommodate three Chemistry labs, five Physics labs, one Material Science lab, one Biology lab, two Biomedical Engineering labs, and one recitation space. Support space and collaboration space bond these spaces to the greater building organization. The dynamic organizing element of the project is the Forum, the space between the existing and the new buildings. This multilevel open space is a see-and-be-seen space as well as a large informal meeting environment. Glass walls provide views into the labs, an open stair creates a clear path of travel, and daylight through a new clerestory washes the new environment in natural light. The faculty is collocated in the building, with 36 offices in a combination of private and shared rooms.

Updating Historic Library to Meet Modern Needs Designed in the 1960s by renowned architect A. Quincy Jones, the Charles E. Young Research Library serves as the primary library for UCLA graduate students and faculty in humanities and social sciences, and it houses the administrative offices of the UCLA library system. The building required modifications to meet the needs of its users, expand the library’s offerings, and upgrade the library’s physical environment.

Perkins+Will provided pre-design, programming, and design services for renovation of the First Floor and A Level, focusing on the public areas to create flexible, aesthetically appealing spaces, to introduce technological improvements, and to improve the circulation and function.

Challenges of the project included creating an information-rich, technologically empowered social center for the campus while understanding and relating to the original concepts of this significant piece of architecture. Additionally, the wall-like nature of the enclosing brise soleil and site fencing were addressed to allow more daylight to reach into the deep floor plan.

Practice Leader Chris loves what he does. As a fourth generation Californian, whose family has been located in San Francisco and Los Angeles since the 1860s, history informs Chris’ keen understanding of place.

Chris’ insight benefits his clients, and they draw on his expertise to help them achieve their design goals. Trust is a crucial success factor for him, and the strength of the relationship that he has with clients as the design process unfolds is paramount. As lead architect on several significant projects, Chris’ sense of accomplishment can only be defined through two-way dialogue, and he is particularly thrilled when users tell him the building works for them. Ultimately, that is his goal.

Miguel Rivera Project Facilitator Growing up in a low-income family, Miguel always knew he was interested in design. Over the course of his career, his passion for bringing high-quality and innovative design to communities with limited resources grew. He has worked with organizations like Watts House Project, Clifford Beers Housing, Weigngart and TreePeople on projects ranging from large-scale planning efforts to low-income/interim housing facilities and small residential landscapes for low-income residents throughout Los Angeles.

Miguel regularly attends community meetings to support affordable/ special needs housing, volunteers at interim housing facilities, and has met with various operators to not only understand how a shelter operates but to understand what the guests need. Miguel understands the power, the privilege, and the responsibility we have as designers and he channels that towards bringing positive impact to our communities.
