DCA Civil Engineering Group, teaming with RBB Architectural team, is
providing the civil engineering and surveying services required for the
design and build of a $17 Million, Science Laboratory Building. The
grading was specifically designed to accommodate for existing geology
building floors and surrounding walkways. The boundary survey and
topographical surveys were completed recently, DCA working directly for
U.C. Riverside.
This new facility provides a variety of multi-disciplinary research and
teaching laboratories that will be used by the chemistry, biological and
environmental sciences. It is a 42,000 square foot, three-story building,
with five organic teaching labs on the first floor, and ten research labs
on the second and third floors.
In the design of this facility, RBB
achieves new identities for both the Science Laboratory and Chemistry
programs. The Science Laboratories I builds upon existing contextual
vocabularies along the Carillon Mall and the Pierce Hall Addition, also
designed by RBB. The design provides the science precinct with a strong
presence on the Mall and a new front door.
In the precinct plan,
areas are defined to enhance opportunities for academic interaction
in the newly created courtyard and outdoor spaces. The plan is
intended to provide the college with a framework for development,
circulation and open space that satisfies projected space needs,
supports the College. s research and education mission and
contributes to the campus quality of life and environment.
