Allied Health and Science Center |  |
| The 100,000 square foot Allied Health and Science Center at Los Angeles Valley College was listed as the 2008 “Project of the Year” Winner in Higher Education by California Construction Magazine. The project facilitated the need for state-of-the-art laboratory systems, including a greenhouse and botanical research facility, in addition to administrative offices, computer workstations, classroom facilities, and auxiliary support spaces.
The facility received Gold LEED certification upon completion due to an extensive application of sustainable features, including photovoltaic (solar) paneling, storm water retention and reclamation systems, Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified wood, Federal Trade Commission (FTC) approved post-consumer recycled materials, and HVAC Chilled-Beam technology, serving as a heating, ventilating, and air conditioning alternative to Variable Air Volume (VAV) systems. Strict waste management policies implemented by FTR during construction supported local recycle centers and exceeded LEED required diversion percentages.
