This 12 story, 175,000 square foot office building was originally built in the 1960’s. In 1999, a complete remodel of the building was undertaken. ACCO was chosen to provide design/assist services for the HVAC portion of the remodel work.

In addition to providing “state of the art” HVAC and controls systems, ACCO was asked to bring the systems up to current codes, keep the project in line with the owner’s budget, and maintain a fast-track design and construction schedule.

The work, which included a new central plant, air handling units, low Nox boilers and a full DDC control system, also included full tenant build-out. The work was accomplished within the confines of a cramped city street, which required extraordinary efforts for the delivery, staging, and rigging of the mechanical systems. A sophisticated smoke evacuation system was installed to bring the mechanical system to current Los Angeles City requirements.

This building was chosen as the new home for the Jewish Federation of Los Angeles.
