La
Palma, CA, USA -- Rosendin Electric (http://www.rosendin.com),
one of the nation's largest private electrical contractors and an
employee-owned company, has received a 2016 Project/Team Award from
the Design-Build Institute of America (DBIA) for its contribution to
the construction of the Los Angeles Valley College Monarch Center.
The Monarch Center was one of three projects selected in the
Educational Facilities category. Earlier this year, the Monarch
Center project also received an Electrical Excellence Award from the
National Electrical Contractors' Association (NECA).
DBIA
is the only organization in the United States dedicated to defining,
teaching, and promoting best practices for construction design-build.
To be considered for an award, a project must demonstrate the
application of DBIA-defined design-build best practices, including
bringing together team members during the proposal process, as well
as close coordination from the design development stage through field
construction and project completion.
The
Monarch Center project represents a successful collaborative
design-build project that offered Los Angeles Valley College the best
design and value based on criteria, including mitigating any
additional costs with expedited design-build solutions to address
issues encountered in the field. Part of the challenge was completing
the project without disrupting daily operations on the Los Angeles
Valley College campus. The completed structure has a unique
architectural design and houses the College's bookstore, cafeteria,
health services center, and other faculty and student facilities. The
project was completed in 27 months at a cost of $46,661,760.
"The
completed Monarch Center has an innovative design and interesting
lighting and design features, such as roof lighting and a reflective
canopy that eliminates the need for ground lighting," said Dan
Domenici, Project Manager for Rosendin Electric. "By working
closely with the lead contractor, McCarthy Building Companies, and
other project partners from the outset, we were able to overcome some
unexpected challenges. Receiving recognition from the DBIA is
something the entire design-build team can be proud of."

web site. Additional innovative design-build construction projects
spanning education, transportation, technology, data centers,
healthcare, and other industries are available on the Rosendin
