Pepperdine’s Calabasas campus is an investment born of necessity and designed into a forward-thinking combination of academic and operational space. This renovation is a multi-phase endeavor sequenced to allow the building to serve as surge space for other main campus construction projects, before it ultimately is developed into its final state – a multi-purpose academic and operational campus. The renovation’s first phase, creating open architecture office space, made possible the move of 100 staff members from our main campus, and set in motion a university-wide gravitation toward working space reflecting our priority principles: community and collaboration.
Phase one renovations aimed to accommodate evolving working styles, while also capitalizing on natural light, with an open architecture layout. The project utilized low-profile workstation partitions and glass walls wherever possible. Renovations also incorporated non-traditional working spaces, collaboration rooms, hoteling offices, and conferences rooms with new and reliable technology for campus connectivity. The designers significantly upgraded the 1998 building with sustainable elements like ultra-low flow bathroom fixtures, high-end water filtration and bottle refilling stations, and an energy management system controlling dimmable LED fixtures. It is a contemporary representation of our traditional architectural touchstone, coupled with an innovative embrace of new technologies and working styles.
