The DLR Group created a new identity for WLAC by designing these two buildings to act in perfect balance to energize the entry plaza
and provide a welcoming and convenient outdoor meeting place, enhance curb side drop off, increase visibility and support intuitive wayfinding.

GBE provided mechanical, electrical and plumbing design for a new four-story stand-alone 45,000 sq. ft. Classroom building and a four-story
50,000 sq. ft. Student Services building.

The Classroom building includes conference room, child development lab, administrative offices, lecture rooms and featuring “Smart” classroom
with cameras, connections to a satellite uplink and telephone systems for distance learning.
The Student Services building envelope is a “mirror image” of the Classrooms building. This facility features meeting rooms, recreation area,
career and transfer center, financial aid center, health service area, business center and much more.

Targeting LEED Gold certification, both buildings are designed to exceed Title-24 standards and include sustainable design elements
such as water efficient landscaping, 30% reduction in building water use, optimize energy performance, CO2 monitoring, thermal comfort
monitoring energy efficient HVAC systems and utilizing local and regional materials for construction.

A fun day at Knott’s Berry Farm. The pictures tell the story.

We are very proud to announce to our friends and colleagues that Caecilia Gotama was honored

Tuesday August 21, 2012 was the official Grand Opening to introduce the building to all Donors who contributed to this project.
The ceremony was held at the new Brittingham Field just outside the John McKay Center, where the USC Athletic Director Patrick C. Haden
welcomed all guests and hosted the entire celebration. Followed by the dedication and ribbon cutting ceremony, the John McKay Center was
open to all guests to tour the interior of the facility. An engraved statement greets you at the main entrance: “Through this portal enter
the world’s greatest athletes”. As you enter into the main lobby of this facility, the grand staircase features an impressive video wall presenting
the Trojan athletes. This 110,000 sf building includes academic tutorial classrooms, a high-tech computer lab, offices for the sports program,
and a state-of-the-art training center located in the basement designed to impress any athlete. The training center features a 30-yard indoor
practice field, a well equipped weight room, the football locker room, and a top notch sports therapy section with a hydro-therapy room.

The evening program included John K. McKay who gave a very moving tribute to his father John McKay, former USC Coach whom this building is
named after. Other notable speakers include Senior Associate Athletic Director Mark Jackson, Trustee Mark Stevens, Head Football Coach Lane
Kiffin and USC star Quarterback Matthew Barkley.

GBE is honored and privileged to have contributed to the success of this notable building that will provide a home for future star athletes who
will continue to break new records for generations to come.
