RDC's Associate Principal Terry Todd and Senior Job Captain Elise Kunihiro led the design team for the restoration of 475
South Lake Avenue, a historic I. Magnin & Company property.
and ducts, and other infrastructure
unique to grocery operations.
With high-tech scans, the design
and construction team was able to
carefully place infrastructure without
cutting through the rebar beams
and, thus, weakening the concrete
slab. For example, smaller-thanusual
floor sinks were installed to fit
better between the rebar beams. The
design and construction team had
to plan utility pipe routes through
the floor and roof slabs; in some
cases, this work required adjusting
programmatic aspects of the store
layout.
In addition to the structural
challenge, the design and
construction team had to configure
the building for multitenant use
rather than for a single tenant. For
example, the team had to find a
creative way to provide emergency
exits for the second-floor child care
space, and coordinate with Pasadena
city administrators to ensure that
the solution met building code
requirements. The team's inventive
solution was to construct a new
stairway within the building, along
with a new elevator, to serve all
floors-from basement to roof deck.
Removing and replacing decadesold
elevators also required creative
thinking, because the building's old
elevator shafts-or hoistways-lacked
sufficient clearance for modern
elevator equipment. In particular, the
construction team determined that
the legacy passenger hoistway was
narrowest at the basement level. To
provide the clearance required, the
team had to painstakingly remove 1.5
inches (.04 meters) of the concrete
wall and reinforce the remainder with
carbon fiber mats.
Upgrading the building's utilities
was a major undertaking, further
complicated by supply chain delays
that led to creative workarounds. The
project team had designed upgrades
of all the building utility systems,
including a new 3,000-amp electrical
system. During construction, however,
the electrical equipment supplier
issued delay notices that pushed
gear delivery months beyond the
original ship date. In response,
the team quickly redesigned the
electrical system to make use of the
legacy electrical service, which had
just enough capacity for new uses
and could operate on an interim
basis until the new switchgear
arrived.
A new space for the replacement
gear was carved out, in the electrical
room, next to the legacy gear. Once
the new gear was installed, the
electrical service could be transferred
from the old system to the new via
an overnight shutdown.
