JFAK has officially begun work on the new Associated Students Bike Shop, to be located at UC Santa Barbara’s main campus. The new facility will replace a beloved but temporary structure that serves UCSB’s growing community of cyclists, and will be a hub for bike repair, community shop use, educational programming, and student activities.
JFAK’s DCTWRP Maintenance and Warehouse Facility Replacement Project and Glendale Artist’s Residence were each awarded an AIA/SFV Design Citation honor at the organization’s annual Awards Gala in January.
JFAK has been selected to design a new Crew Quarters Building (CQB) and Sustainability Education Center (SEC) for the City of Anaheim’s Public Utilities Department (APU). The project was officially kicked off with a site walk and utilities investigation on January 9, 2020.
The new CQB will provide facilities for APU field staff representing APU’s Water, Electric, Environmental, and Customer Service Divisions as well as its Public Works Facilities Maintenance Group.
The SEC will serve as a public education and community center that demonstrates sustainable building practices, energy and water use efficiencies, and cutting-edge home innovation technologies.
Construction is slated for mid-2021.
