San Diego-based SCA Architecture<\/a> (formerly known as Smith Consulting Architects) has completed the planning, design, and entitlements for a new 9-ha (23-acre) campus for communications company Viasat in Carlsbad, California.<\/p>\n

Located across the street from Viasat\u2019s existing headquarters, the new campus can accommodate six office buildings, three parking structures, a cafe\/conference center, and recreational amenities for company.<\/p>\n

The new campus is designed to embody Viasat\u2019s culture of creativity, exploration, freedom, and innovation, as well as foster interaction between employees, clients, and visitors. The two- and three-story office buildings provide 54,534 m2<\/sup> (587,000 sf) of space. One of the buildings feature below-grade parking to provide visitors a secure entrance without compromising the open campus feel. Careful consideration was given not only to the internal campus elevations, but also to neighboring structures.<\/p>\n

Woven throughout the open, outdoor space are \u2018unexpected experiences\u2019 such as hammocks, swings, bocce ball courts, jogging trails, water-filling stations, several shade structures for informal meetings including some with banquette seating, trees surrounded with bar-height counters for outdoor eating, an outdoor stage, firepits, a barbeque, charging stations for mobile devices and other amenities, as well as displays of Viasat\u2019s latest technologies.<\/p>\n

Project consultants include PLSA (civil engineer), Ground Level (landscape architect), Wiseman & Rohy (structural engineer), Syska Hennessy (mechanical\/plumbing engineer), Michael Wall, (electrical engineer), Whiting Turner (general contractor), and Brummitt Energy Associates, serving as energy consultant.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
