Statement of Qualifications University Extension Seismic Correction University of California, Los Angeles Project Number: 948472.01 July 15, 2013 BARTON PHELPS & ASSOCIATES Architects and Planners University Extension Seismic Correction University of California, Los Angeles: Letter of Introduction July 15, 2013 Jeffrey Averill, AIA, Campus Architect UCLA Capital Programs 1060 Veteran Avenue, 1st Floor Dear Mr. Averill: We are pleased to present our team’s qualifications to assist Capital Programs with the University Extension project. We’ve reviewed project information and visited the building and site. We’ve reviewed the preliminary structural study with its author, Nabih Youssef, our structural engineer, and been briefed on project implications for constructability, collateral damage, and architectural resolution. We’ve also refreshed our understanding of the later work of the prolific Los Angeles architect, A. Quincy Jones with whom I had the privilege of teaching at the USC School of Architecture before becoming a member of the faculty at UCLA. We sense the design challenges posed by this project in exterior composition and building identity, in orientation and patterns of use and movement both inside and out, and in materiality and construction as well as those of cost, accessibility and sustainability, But we also concur with Capital Programs’ perception that the building and site hold potential for significant improvements in functional performance and experiential quality for UNEX users and for the building’s prominence and interaction in the Westwood streetscape.. Over the last thirty years much of our firm’s design work has been for new educational facilities and digital information-based learning / working environments and we have responded to constantly changing operational and construction requirements in these kinds of projects. Our design for the East Building of the UCLA Lab School is relevant here as is our extensive office interiors work for asset managers Dimensional Fund Advisors Inc.. Our practice has also taken focus on renovation / expansion of distinguished buildings and complexes, often involving insertion of new spaces and support systems into architecturally sensitive contexts, enhancing architectural identity, and reinterpreting familiar campus landscapes. Working with Nabih Youseff Associates , we have completed (or are completing) a number seismic renovation projects at UCLA that we believe have particular relevance. They include the nine-story Fielding School of Public Health, Marion Davies Childrens’ Center, and Campbell Hall and its new learning space for the Academic Advancement program - alll of which are roughly contemporary with the UNEX Building and similarly constructed. As a result, we expect that the UNEX Seismic Renovation will align with our professional interests and experience and it will likely include the following activities: • Collaborating with UCLA Capital Programs to confirm and rank project objectives, explore design implications of alternative approaches to strengthening, accessibility and accommodating new functional requirements.. • Confirming UNEX performance expectations for digital information-based learning/teaching environments: ambience, lighting, acoustics, support systems, and FF&E. • Confirming code compliance implications of adaptive re-use and space allocation. • Designing simple, flexible, well-lighted, comfortable and warmly attractive places to support UNEX objectives for diverse educational activity, vibrant outreach programming, lively student / faculty, interaction, efficient operations, and security, and outreach. • Designing creative responses to code, ADA, UCLA Fire Marshall compliance requirements and UCLA policies in sustainability and elevated performance • Analyzing relationships and patterns of use and movement in surrounding outdoor spaces, and formulating alternatives for improvement. • Developing appropriate design resolution of juxtaposed old and new work. • Providing responsive project direction and delivery services to Capital Programs. • Providing team leadership / coordination, academic experience at UCLA, professional recognition in the design / preservation communities, and articulate project representation. We hope the information is clear and helpful and we look forward to your response. Yours very truly.

The firm provides programming, master planning, and design services for universities and public and private institutional facilities and technology-driven workplaces. In addition to conceiving / and managing production of new structures, the practice takes focus on renovation / expansion projects where changing use requires functional reorganization, spatial re-interpretation and compatibility between new and existing construction as well as sophisticated design responses to seismic strengthening, support systems upgrades, regulatory compliance, elevated performance / LEED strategy, and historic preservation. The projects we’ve included here are intended to illustrate specific responses to institutional and architectural needs we believe are relevant to the University Extension Seismic Correction. It is our hope that, taken together, they will convey a sense of our approach to shaping spaces for interactive / technology driven learning environments, architectural form, and the collective built landscape.
