Last week, KMA Architecture & Engineering, in partnership with Swinerton Builders, were retained as the architect of record to design/build the Class A Sunroad Centrum II Office Tower for Sunroad Enterprises. Construction is scheduled to begin in late 2011, and is expected to be complete in 2012.

The building will be used as a call center for Bridgepoint Education.

Using the latest of BIM technology, KMA says it will be aiming at LEED certification with a number of sustainable design features, including development is taking place on a previously developed site, use of regional materials to reduce material transportation costs, water efficient landscaping and groundcover, large exterior window walls for maximum natural day-lighting, highly reflective roofing material for reduction of heat island effect and use of low-flow plumbing fixtures for water conservation.

The KMA team consists of Don Blair, principal in charge; B. Moon Hajjar, project manager; Rich Guerena, project architect; Jay Janda, project architect; Robb Walker, design coordinator; Ilia Voronchihin, project architect; and Heather Mertes, LEED AP. BPA is the design architect for the master plan, as well as the individual buildings.

Other services are provided by: Hope Engineering, Structural Engineer; Michael Wall Engineering, Electrical Engineer; McParlane Engineers, Mechanical & Plumbing Engineer; KTU&A, Landscape Architect; Stevens Cresto Engineering, Civil Engineering; BPA Architects, Design Architect; and Orness Design Group, Kitchen Design Consultants.
