This two-building complex was created by utilizing common concrete tilt-up

panels as the major building component and highlighting them in a unique and

creative perspective. The exterior concrete panels range in size, intersect each

other at different angles, come through exterior walls and contemporary

appearance. The entrances of both buildings showcase generous plazas,

creating a courtyard effect. Skylights are also featured throughout each

building.

Lochsa Engineering helped contribute to the success of this unique building

complex by engineering the 9,000 and 27,000 square foot buildings plus

balancing the parking and landscaping requirements established by Clark

County, Nevada. The flood control design efforts included hydrologic and

hydraulic analysis of storm runoff flows within the existing US Army Corps of

Engineers (USACOE) Lower Blue Diamond Channel through the site. Lochsa

Engineering obtained the required USACOE approval to drain into the channel.

The Project received a Citation Award from the AIA Nevada Design Awards

2003- Built Category.
