The concepts for the renovated Administration Building and plazas were imagined to be an addition to the Great Park’s master plan development and bring life and vitality to the Great Park. These plazas were envisioned to contribute to the users’ outdoor experience through a variety of programmed spaces for multi-generational needs ranging from large plazas to intimate courtyards. As seen on the building’s façade, the landscape design concept drew inspiration from California’s “Super Bloom” – incorporating colors and patterns while blending harmoniously within the landscape.
OC Great Park Administration Facility
This facility in Huntington Beach is an innovative training center that develops the learning and technical skills of both cadets and students by providing an environment that best balance quality enhancements of both building design and landscape.
LCI achieved this goal by creating a park scenario for passive recreation, biddle and grinder courses for physical training activities and memorial as a focal point next to the building’s main entry. A number of prominent trees were protected through strict construction and management procedures while applicable stormwater techniques such as Modular Wetland Biofiltration systems were considered for the project.
