Kravis Center

Kurt Fischer was a project manager at Nabih Youssef Associates for the design and construction phases of this project. This project was Designed by Raphael Viñoly Architects and is a LEED-Silver academic and administration building on the campus of the private, liberal arts college in Claremont in eastern Los Angeles County. The $56-million center features ascending cantilevered terraces, natural light, green space and an innovative, all-glass, outdoor “living room” that is a central component of the college’s interior courtyard. The 169,000-sq-ft complex creates a prominent western gateway for the campus and expands the mall along its main axis. The structure is cast-in-place concrete and post-tension cable with a footprint over five levels, one of which is underground, and includes a single level of below-grade parking and green roofs
