LOCATION & EXPERTISE Our three offices cover the entire range of California campus locations. Integrated teams are selected for each project based on location and expertise. In 1990, LPA was honored to receive the prestigious California Council of American Institute of Architects “Firm Award,” which recognizes over 25 years of design excellence.


RECREATION CENTERS: OUR INTEGRATED DESIGN APPROACH LPA’s unique integrated design for recreation centers places the client in the center fostering participation and direct interaction with the multi-disciplinary team of specialists. With all the experts in-house working together from the very beginning, the result is an efficient process of fluid communication which minimizes cost while maximizing quality.

The exterior envelope responds to program elements and views of the Bay, creating a semi-opaque “box” (gym) and a transparent glass “jewel” (fitness). The main organizing space, the lounge, is an environment flooded with natural light, serving as a transition between the box and the jewel. This space is further emphasized by the light monitor that floods the interior with natural light. The glass jewel is protected with a perforated aluminum veil, minimizing direct sunlight while maintaining views.

The tilt-up panels, used for the box which forms the exterior skin and structure, also possess great thermal mass qualities. Glazing placed in front of the panels, effectively create a solar thermal collector (trombe wall) to heat the interior space. The Util-1 shows that the building performance is 29% better than Title 24 requirements.

Structure

Tilt-up concrete used as exterior skin matches the campus context and provides thermal mass. A “kit-of-parts” system was developed for construction of the major systems. The interiors follow a “do more with less” approach where structure becomes finish ceiling; concrete slabs and walls are exposed, and passive systems are displayed.

The two-story recreation center, organized about a campus “Living Room,� is meant as an extension of the courtyard with operable doors and seat wall, welcoming students and engaging them in a holistic approach to their education. With sustainability as a driving force in the design of the building and its systems, this project is the first building on the Sonoma Campus to use the LEED rating system as a guideline for design.

Natural light was maximized throughout the building using translucent skylights, clerestory glazing and vision-glass windows improving the overall lighting quality of spaces while reducing the load on artificial systems.
