Morley Construction Company provided structural concrete subcontracting services for this 203,000-square-foot creative office campus in Marina del Rey. The project included new construction of three Type III buildings. The 80,570-square-foot Type I parking garage acts as a podium for two of the building; the third building is a three-story freestanding structure. The campus provides 150,000 square feet of rentable office space and 1,500 square feet of retail.

The project utilizes a unique hybrid structural system incorporating concrete, steel, and mass timber in the form of cross-laminated timber (CLT) beams and floor/ceiling panels to achieve an overall reduction in embodied carbon and global warming potential. It’s one of the first-of-its-kind implementations in Southern California.

As part of this system, the structural concrete scope of work included 8,944 cubic yards of concrete foundations, slabs-on-grade, columns, shear walls, elevated decks, slabs-on-metal decks, and structural topping slabs placed over CLT panels. 17,000 square feet of architectural board-formed walls act as the signature architectural finish at ground level.
