Project overview
As the project/construction manager for the new City of Los Angeles Police Administration Building, Vanir led a highly collaborative process that involved many entities. The secure facility spans a full city block with a main ten-story building occupying 500,000 square feet. There are two levels of subterranean parking, several mechanical and communication rooftop penthouses and a helicopter landing platform. The site includes a 450-seat auditorium with theater seating, a 250-seat public restaurant, a one-acre park and a police memorial.
The project is located in the heart of downtown Los Angeles with limited space for laydown. Vanir worked with the contractor to develop a timely delivery schedule that minimizing on-site material storage space. The building continues to stand as an iconic structure in modern Los Angeles.
Exceeding sustainability goals
Originally planned to achieve LEED silver certification, this project received a LEED Gold designation due to Vanir collaborating with the City to fund additional sustainability measures and everyone’s commitment to exceeding the initial goal.
