Improvements on the CalArts campus includes multiple new buildings, a new fire road, renovating the Café, and site work. The Staples teams took on building a new music lab inside an existing building, building a new 7,356-square foot art studio complex, and a 2-story multipurpose facility for both classrooms and mechanical equipment/storage as well as a new bridge structure connecting them to existing buildings.
The challenge with all of the work was the deadline. Work on the Café for instance, needed to take place over the summer, and complete before the start of Fall classes. We met the no-fail deadline, building CalArts the facilities they needed to keep growing.
