BNBuilders awarded $23.8 million UCLA Geffen Academy project

Posted by | Oct 27, 2016 | 0 |

The Geffen Academy will be located in the existing 75,000-square-foot, three-level Kinross Building.  The Kinross Building was built in 2002 as a staff overflow space, to house staff while other buildings on campus went through a mandated seismic upgrade in the early 2000s.  The building will be renovated to accommodate the new Geffen Academy, including classrooms, an assembly space, administrative offices, indoor athletic space, and building support space. An existing exterior area on the east side of the building will be used for outdoor arts programs. The project is being designed and constructed to achieve a minimum of LEED Silver certification.  Construction will commence in the first quarter of 2017, and is anticipated to complete by late 2018.  Geffen Academy was designed by Koning Eizenberg Architecture.
