The Park at Park Place, Michelson Drive
Scope/Solutions
Park Place on Michelson Drive includes six mixed-use buildings tailored to technology and creative companies that share a common plaza over existing service facilities and office space. The owner undertook a project to renovate the plaza and create The Park, an expansive outdoor space with gardens and landscaped seating areas, sport courts and game tables, gathering and event areas, a 200-person amphitheater, and walking trails. SGH consulted on the waterproofing and building enclosure design for the project.
SGH consulted on the waterproofing design for the 3.5 acre plaza and the building enclosure design, restroom building, and 1,200 sq ft shade structure. Highlights of our work include:
- Reviewing the proposed project design and existing constraints, and recommending waterproofing systems for the existing plaza
- Developing details for horizontal expansion joint replacements—including ones at transitions and terminations—and flashings where the new shade structures and planter walls attach to the plaza deck structure
- Consulting on the axonometic details for exterior wall assemblies and roofing at the restroom structure
- Recommending repairs and details for tying the existing waterproofing membrane to new systems where landscape features were added or removed
- Providing construction phase services, including reviewing submittals, visiting the site to observe ongoing work, documenting the installation and witnessing integrity testing of the plaza waterproofing system, and helping the project team address field conditions and coordinate outstanding issues

The Key at 12th
Constructed in 1911 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the building at 1100 Broadway became the headquarters for the Key System transit line in 1943. SGH provided building enclosure engineering services for the project.

SGH performed a condition assessment of the precast panels and found corroding reinforcing was causing the concrete panels to crack and spall. We subsequently developed a facade rehabilitation program using a custom designed mortar to match the existing concrete.
