Project Overview
The 3122 Nebraska Avenue Office Building project is a new ground-up office development located in Santa Monica, California. The building is designed as a modern workplace environment featuring integrated parking solutions, rooftop amenities, and sustainable infrastructure.
Project Scope
MEP engineering services were provided for the Schematic Design phase of a multi-level office building consisting of one level of subterranean parking and three stories above grade, including two mezzanine levels. The project incorporates an automatic multi-tiered parking system, requiring early coordination of electrical and mechanical infrastructure.
Design efforts focused on establishing system strategies for HVAC, electrical, and plumbing systems that support both core building operations and future tenant flexibility. The rooftop is designed to accommodate an amenity deck and solar photovoltaic (PV) system, while the parking level includes provisions for electric vehicle charging stations.
