New office designs at San Diego’s Sunroad Corporate Center

New office designs at San Diego’s Sunroad Corporate Center

Traditional office space being transformed into a modern work environment, complete with private offices, high-tech conference rooms, a break room, and an art gallery, as well as standard facilities and amenities.


By By BD+C Staff | March 20, 2012

Economic conditions have caused a shift in opportunities for office builders as projects become less about new construction and more about renovating space. This growing trend is apparent as KMA Architecture & Engineering (KMA) announced that construction is underway for Sunroad Enterprises on behalf of tenant, Westcore Properties located at the Sunroad Corporate Center in University Towne Center (UTC).

KMA was retained by Sunroad Enterprises to reconfigure 16,000 sf of office space on the third floor of a four-story building for Westcore Properties.

KMA and interior design partner I.D. Studios Interiors are transforming a traditional office space into a modern work environment, complete with private offices, high-tech conference rooms, a break room, and an art gallery, as well as standard facilities and amenities.

Renovations are expected to be complete in April 2012.

The KMA team includes Rich Guerena, B. Moon Hajjar and Jay Janda. Electrical engineering services are provided by Hughes Design Services; plumbing engineering services are provided by LAB Drafting and Design; mechanical engineering services are provided by National Air and Energy; interior design consultation is being provided by I.D. Studios Interiors; and general contracting services are provided by Bycor Construction and Sunroad Enterprises. BD+C
