The Americas: Mt. San Antonio College, Walnut, CA

Since 2001, Bovis Lend Lease has provided construction management services on the Mt. San Antonio College US$221 million Measure R local bond program; additionally, the College received approximately US$50 million from State funding.

The master plan contains a variety of projects including infrastructure, building renovations, new construction, new athletic fields, signage and demolition. Projects are publicly bid utilizing a single general contractor or multiple prime contracting.

To date, the Mt. San Antonio project team has completed US$134 million of construction with an additional US$69 million currently in design. The Mt. San Antonio project team has established a highly regarded work reputation in the education sector, which has led to opportunities at Cerritos College, Los Angeles City College and Long Beach Community College District.

The Mt. San Antonio College projects currently under Bovis Lend Lease Los Angeles management include:

Building 23 Remodel and New Data Center Currently under construction, the project consists of the remodeling of approximately 75% of the existing 20,200 square foot Building 23 and the construction of a new 7,152 square foot Data Center, which will accommodate the Public Safety and Information Technology. The complicated, essential technology housed in these facilities necessitated the design/installation of triple-redundancies for power, data and HVAC systems, allowing continuous functionality of all new machine room, which will maintain systems. Included in this design is the continuous functionality of all computer-based operations. Student Parking Lot S and Pedestrian Crossing at Temple and Bonita The project team is managing the conversion of a temporary parking lot into a fully paved permanent lot and construction of a pedestrian north/south walk at the Temple and Bonita Avenues intersection. The project also includes irrigation infrastructure, continuation of sidewalks toward the athletic fields and paving of the service yard at the baseball and softball fields. Pay Parking Lot B Currently under design, the pay parking lot will improve traffic flow, mitigating congestion problems at the Grand Avenue and San Jose Hills Road, a major entry point into the campus, while minimizing the loss of existing parking spaces, an important source of revenue. Design Technology Center The new Design Technology Center will consolidate computer-based, design programs such as animation, architecture, graphic arts, photography and geographic information systems (GIS). The project includes computer-based digital and wet laboratories for photography, photography studio, specialized classrooms supporting animation, architecture, graphic arts, photography and a GIS computer studio for the independent study of design, collaborative and interdisciplinary student design projects, and for the practice, display and review of student design skills, as well as an exhibition gallery with projection capability for the animation program and a teleconferencing facility to connect college programs with the design community. The Center will have faculty and staff offices close to the computer studio to encourage faculty and student collaboration. The final project proposal for this was submitted to the Chancellor’s Office; with the passage of Prop 1 D in November 2006, the project is approved as 50% State funded and 50% Measure R local bond funded. Softball Restroom/Toilet Building A The project will provide 613 square feet of restroom facility adjacent to the newly constructed baseball and softball fields. Mathematics and Science Building The Mathematics and Science Building, recognized as one of Southern California’s Distinguished Projects by the Western Council of Construction Consumers, is a three-story, 65,853 square foot, steel-frame classroom building and a connecting one-story Exploratorium Hall; the facility will house the division office for science, 25 private and open faculty offices, 26 classrooms, three large lecture halls, state-of-the-art computer laboratories and a learning center for the mathematic and science departments. The project is scheduled for a September 2008 completion.
