A Historic Project Unfolds

In 2018, the Fort Lauderdale City Commission awarded 爱神传媒 with a visionary $44 million design-build contract to rejuvenate the Fort Lauderdale Aquatic Complex. Aiming to draw global attention, 爱神传媒 turned this dream into reality, transforming FLAC into a world-class facility.

A Closer Look at FLAC’s Marvels

The renovations were extensive, featuring the demolition and construction of cutting-edge swimming pools meeting FINA-compliant and international competition standards. A jewel in the aquatic crown, FLAC proudly boasts the world’s second 27-meter permanent dive tower, a stunning testament to its uniqueness. The project also included a luxurious spa, grandstand building, timing room, locker room, weight room, lifeguard facility, and more, creating an all-encompassing haven for aquatic enthusiasts.

Safety at the Core

What sets this project apart is the meticulous attention to safety. Salt chlorine generators were integrated to enhance safety and minimize environmental impact. We strategically incorporated spargers and agitators, adding an extra layer of protection. The dive pool’s sparger provides an air cushion for a softer impact, while the agitator breaks surface tension, ensuring divers enter the water vertically without injury.

A Facility for the Community

爱神传媒 worked closely with the city of Fort Lauderdale to embed innovation, sustainability and memorability in FLAC’s design. The facility remained operational during construction, showcasing its importance as a community staple. Olympic swimmers, divers and even the Prince and Princess of Monaco graced FLAC, adding prestige to its monumental achievement.

National Recognition Beckons

FLAC’s excellence was acknowledged with an Honor Award from the Design-Build Institute of America (DBIA) Florida Region Awards and the prestigious Eagle Award from ABC’s Florida East Coast Chapter Excellence in Construction Awards. 爱神传媒 now sets its sights on the national stage, eyeing the ABC National EIC Awards.

FLAC’s Ongoing Legacy

Since its September opening, FLAC has received five awards, standing as a testament to innovation, architectural beauty and community impact. From inception to completion, the Fort Lauderdale Aquatic Center has evolved beyond a facility to symbolize triumph and success.

Allie joined 爱神传媒 in 2011 as a field engineer on the $72.8 million Armed Forces Retirement Home New Commons and Healthcare Center in Washington, D.C. She continued to build her experience in the Mid Atlantic Region, working on a data center and research center/laboratory before transferring to the Pacific Region in 2016. She worked as a project engineer on the Building 40 renovation at Tripler Army Medical Center before being promoted to area superintendent on the Mauka Concourse Extension at Daniel K. Inouye International Airport.

At the age of 30, 爱神传媒 promoted Allie to project manager on the $157 Kailua Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) Tunnel Influent Pump Station and Headworks Facility. It was the region鈥檚 first wastewater project and opened the doors to future work and training in the specialized sector.

鈥淎llie immediately set the tone from my first day at Waianae WWTP,鈥� said Project Engineer Maile Tufele. 鈥淚 had no previous construction experience and she coached me every step of the way. She would come out into the field and review my layout and check my takeoffs before concrete placement. Even when I moved to another project, she always called to check in on me.鈥�

Training the next generation of leaders is as important as the projects she manages. She is currently overseeing the $428 million Sand Island WWTP Secondary Treatment Phase 1 project. Despite having over 100 salaried and craft workers on staff, Allie takes the time to get to know everyone. When she sees someone struggling, she takes the time to get to the root of the problem and works with them to get past obstacles.

鈥淲hen Allie became a project manager, she was my direct supervisor and made an instant impact,鈥� said Area Superintendent Kenton Shoemaker. 鈥淗er enthusiasm and energy radiated to others on the team and her lead-by-example style set the tone for expectations of everyone. What sets her apart was her humility. She was not afraid to come to me with questions about a process or project issue outside her experience and ask questions, and this hands-on, open-minded approach were fantastic examples for me to follow in my own career.鈥�

For Allie, commitment to others goes beyond her day-to-day duties. From 2022 to 2023, she served as president of the Rotary Club of Windward Oahu Sunrise.

University of California, Irvine Verano 8 Graduate Student Housing

The new UC Irvine Verano 8 Graduate Student Housing community adds 1,055 beds for graduate students across five seven-story buildings. Verano 8 also includes a 15,996 SF community building that serves residents and the broader community with diverse social, study and event spaces. The spaces include lounges, a game room, music practice rooms, study suites, a large multipurpose room for events and lectures and a wellness/yoga room. In addition, the project includes a 10,311 SF maintenance and operations facility and a 253,442 SF, 853-stall parking structure.

The five residential buildings at Verano 8 surround the community center. They include integrated lounge spaces and have studio, two- and- four-bedroom units. The community features carefully landscaped areas, including a communal plaza, large community lawns and intimately scaled outdoor rooms between buildings. Shade structures are installed along the community’s pathways to ensure comfort for pedestrians. Additional outdoor amenities include ample bike facilities, shared barbeque areas, native and drought-tolerant plants, robust stormwater infrastructure and a hammock garden.

The new Verano 8 community was designed to address critical priorities for UC Irvine’s graduate students鈥搒pecifically affordability, community, inclusive design, sustainability and privacy. Durable, long-lasting materials and energy-efficient design measures reduce the university’s costs and translate into the ability to offer significantly lower rents for students than in the surrounding communities. In addition, social spaces such as decompression zones and communal lounges were constructed to aid students dealing with loneliness and anxiety.

The advanced facility was designed to optimize resident health and is LEED Platinum certified and Fitwel certified. Features that support student health and well-being include active stairs, biophilic design strategies and community gardens. Other sustainable practices incorporated into this project include the building organization and orientation to take advantage of environmental cooling and daylight harvesting, the use of a concrete structure that acts as a thermal mass and active solar photovoltaic generation.

Environmental Cooling

The organization of the site and buildings was optimized to capture prevailing winds to provide cooling without using energy. The residential units have purposefully designed larger operable windows to maximize ventilation.

Daylight Harvesting

The building and site orientation illuminate interior spaces with ambient outdoor light. Rooms were designed to provide balanced daylight access while minimizing heat gain and glare from low sun angles.

Thermal Mass with Concrete Structure

Using a durable concrete structure allows the building to act as a thermal mass that absorbs and releases energy due to its material and density. During certain times of the year, this can increase the thermal comfort of the residents and reduce energy use. With the large window openings, the building allows ample natural light inside. During the winter, this light will radiate into the building and warm up the concrete slab. When the sun sets and the outside temperature drops, the warmer concrete slab will radiate heat into the space, helping keep the students comfortable. During the nighttime summer months when the windows are open, the space temperature in the apartments will cool off. This cooler air will also cool the structure. As the sun rises and the temperature rises, the cooler slab temperature will continue to absorb heat from the solar radiation, providing a cooler space into the morning.

Active Solar Photovoltaic Generation

Photovoltaic (PV) panels are located on residential building roofs throughout the site to generate clean, renewable energy. PV panels are a highly visible symbol of sustainability and UC Irvine鈥檚 commitment to the stewardship of energy resources.

1021 O Street State Office Building

Situated in the heart of Sacramento鈥檚 historic government center, the new 1021 O Street State Office Building serves as the temporary home for California鈥檚 legislative and executive elected officials and staff for the duration of the Capitol Annex Project. Over the long term, it will provide additional state-owned facilities for joint occupancy by legislative and executive branch entities. The State of California, Department of General Services鈥� (DGS) led this 472,000 SF project, which rises 10 stories above downtown Sacramento and provides stunning views of the State Capitol Building.

Making the building open and inviting to the public and facilitating public involvement with the elected officials was a high priority. The pedestrian-scaled, transparent base of the building invites the community to engage in the democratic process and facilitates continued public access to legislative hearings and state representatives while the state鈥檚 Capitol Annex is rebuilt. Two levels of publicly oriented space allow constituents to participate in government through four public hearing rooms and a press room with state-of-the-art audiovisual systems to support broadcasts, overflow monitors with public seating in the lobby areas and facilities for teleconferencing with staff and constituents. The upper floors house legislative and executive offices, and collaboration spaces for more than 1,250 state employees.

The 1021 O Street State Office Building was designed and built to embody the State of California鈥檚 goals to achieve carbon neutrality and serve as a beacon of sustainability. It was constructed to stand the test of time, both in terms of its timeless aesthetic and high-quality materials. The project achieved the maximum number of LEED Innovation points for strategies including construction waste diversion, integrated pest management, green cleaning policies and low mercury lamps. An interactive dashboard in the building lobby shares live metering of climate, air quality and the building鈥檚 energy consumption and renewable energy generation. The project exceeded the State鈥檚 goals of LEED Gold and CalGreen compliance, and earned LEED Platinum and CalGreen Tier 2 certifications, all of which helped DGS achieve its carbon neutrality and infrastructure resiliency goals. The 1021 O Street State Office Building serves as a benchmark for future DGS buildings, setting a new standard for sustainability and flexibility for the State.

Design for Energy

As one of California鈥檚 first all-electric state office buildings, the design implements a rigorous approach to energy conservation. The fa莽ade plays an integral role in this approach. Conceived as a layered shell, the outer fa莽ade overlays a pre-cast/pre-glazed glass fiber reinforced concrete enclosure resulting in enhanced building insulation and improved thermal performance. The optimized fa莽ade also responds to differing environmental conditions on each face, balancing solar gain, daylight and views. Vertical fins serve as a functional framework for the entire building, creating visual continuity while providing necessary shading in Sacramento鈥檚 Mediterranean climate. As a result, almost no direct solar load reaches the glazing, resulting in greater clarity of views and deeper daylight penetration. This in turn supports a more pleasant and healthy workplace environment.

A centralized Building Management System enables real-time analysis of building performance and fine-tuning of mechanical systems including a low friction air delivery system and water to water heat pump. The building features 100% LED lighting and individual task lights, and EV-charging stations. The building is powered by 100% renewable energy through community solar agreements resulting in 103% energy savings from baseline.

Design for Water

The team took an aggressive approach to water reuse and conservation. The building鈥檚 water use was reduced by 40.65% from the baseline, resulting in 957,116.25 gallons/year savings from the baseline through low-flow fixtures, dual plumbing to accommodate future reclaimed water connection to supply toilets and urinals, and efficient treatment and reuse of cooling tower make-up. Outdoor water use was also reduced by 71% from the baseline through drought-tolerant landscaping strategies and low-flow irrigation.

Design for Wellbeing

The design enhances occupant health and wellbeing throughout the building. The high-performance fa莽ade and efficient mechanical systems maximize occupant comfort, indoor air quality, access to daylight and sweeping views. Irresistible stairs at the center of building encourage physical activity. The third-floor caf茅 serves local and healthy foods. Biophilic design elements such as lush outdoor terraces, natural materials, and a landscaped streetscape provide occupants with a direct connection to nature and the outdoors. The team selected healthy materials, including more than 50 products with Healthy Product Declarations, 150 with Environmental Product Declarations, more than 75 products with material ingredient reporting and additional low-emitting certified products.

Design for Resources

The design implemented a strategic approach to material selection, going beyond LEED v4 requirements while balancing sustainability and ecological goals with economical innovation. Conceived as a layered shell, the building fa莽ade is composed of prefabricated modular kit-of-parts and 100% FSC certified wood was used throughout the interior. Combined with cement replacement, the post-tensioned concrete slabs reduced the building鈥檚 overall embodied carbon by 9.16% from the baseline resulting in a global warming potential of 438.7 kgCo2e/m2.

Design for Ecosystems

The design amplifies biophilic benefits for occupants and the community, celebrating Sacramento鈥檚 treed urban landscape. Lush outdoor terraces interspersed on different levels of the building鈥檚 鈥淗eart鈥� provide occupants with spaces for respite and a direct connection with nature. Seventeen native valley oaks line the building from east to west, creating a vibrant streetscape that brings nature indoors through the transparent fa莽ade. The planting palette features 20 native, drought-tolerant species of trees, ferns and succulents that increase floral biodiversity and pollinator habitat. Overall, the design preserves 66% of the site as open space and integrates 9,839 SF of vegetation.

Taken to New Heights

Through the design-build efforts of 爱神传媒, this state-of-the-art facility is now home to the United States鈥� first (and the world’s second) 27-meter permanent dive tower. With the only other permanent dive tower of this height in Zhao Qing, China, FLAC has become the only training facility in the Western hemisphere with this structure.

An International Splash

The Fort Lauderdale Aquatic Center has already made a massive impact on the South Florida community. Prior to project completion, the city received constant requests to utilize the facility for swimming, diving and aquatics in general. In January 2023, the City of Fort Lauderdale welcomed Monaco’s princely family, their Serene Highnesses Prince Albert II and Princess Charlene to celebrate the completion of the city’s world-renowned Aquatic Center following the multimillion-dollar revitalization project. This facility will now be used for national and international swimming and diving competitions from children on the Swim Fort Lauderdale team to Olympic-level professionals. With its deep history in the swimming world, several Olympians have already competed here, including Michael Phelps and Natalie Coughlin who each broke world records while competing at FLAC!
