Project Summary

The new Boys and Girls Club in the City of Kuna provides a fun and engaging space for kids to participate in activities before and after school. The need for a fully comprehensive Boys and Girls Club center arose when the previous facility, housed in a 70-year-old gym, reached a waitlist of over 125 kids due to increasing demand in the city. The new facility has a capacity of 1,200 and includes a daycare, a game room, tech labs, an art studio, and a teen center. The project also included sitework, including the design of a 300-foot-long extension to the adjacent roadway on W Mendi Place. Plans were prepared to ACHD standards and processed for approval.

Project Summary

The Franklin Antonio Hall is an innovative interdisciplinary engineering research hub at UC San Diego that promotes the goal of collaboration between students and faculty in solving the most pressing issues in engineering. Located within the Jacobs School of Engineering, the building dedicates 129,075 square feet to innovative cross-disciplinary research space.

The facility also houses new teaching spaces, research spaces, core facilities, a café and support space. Shared laboratories and work areas support the fostering of collaborative relationships between the various fields of research. The project site also connects to the university’s existing pedestrian paths and bike lanes in order to promote biking and other non-vehicular forms of transportation.

Project Summary

The UCSD Pepper Canyon Public Realm project encompasses the public space around a new Design Innovation Building and the Light Rail Transit Station as well as a new Amphitheater and support buildings. This multi-phase project includes public spaces for performances, transportation, dining, studying, classrooms, and fire access to mention a few.

The project covers approximately 5.1-acres of disturbed area and will increase the impervious area with the new fire lanes, buildings, amphitheater seating, and walkways. A regional bioretention basin was coordinated with the West Pepper Canyon Housing and Triton Pavilion projects since all projects had water quality and flow mitigation prior discharging to the same storm drain system.

Nasland Engineering provided demolition, grading, utility, drainage, and erosion control plans for this project. The plans were prepared to regional standards and processed with the University. Nasland also provided topographic surveying, bidding, construction administration, and record drawing services.
