a trait that Environ founder Alan Burks spotted when their paths first crossed
in 1995. During the next year they partnered on several successful projects.
Realizing that their personalities and skill sets were a natural fit, Alan
offered her a stake in the company, which he founded three years earlier with a
plan to make <span style="background: white; color: #222222;">community service
part of its mission.</span> “<span style="background: white;">Environ would not
exist as it is today without Willetta,” he says. “She is an integral component
of the Environ brand and ethos.”</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 11pt;">Wil
did not take a direct path to get here. She was close to earning a degree in
psychology from Southern Illinois University when she shifted her studies from
mental to physical interiors. It was shortly after she changed her major that
the idea of living a life of service was first introduced to her—and it did not
go over well. She was speaking with one of her professors about how she would
eventually implement the knowledge and skills resulting from her studies, and
the professor remarked that she was “born to serve.” He meant it as a
compliment about her nature, but for an undergrad regularly tending bar until 2
a.m. while earning her degree, Wil was up to her ears with serving.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "avenir book"; font-size: 11.0pt;">As she embarked on her career, she quickly grasped the power that thoughtful
and conscious interior design has to make people’s lives better, a
consideration more important to her than aesthetics, an aspect she feels is too
often the industry’s first—and sometimes only—priority. “Designers have the
opportunity to affect the ways people live and interact,” she says. “Focusing
solely on making things beautiful can be superficial.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "avenir book"; font-size: 11.0pt;">It
was right around the time Wil joined Environ that her professor’s compliment
about service began to resonate, and before long she was exploring side roads
of service. One of those led her onto the board of the Los Angeles County
Community Development Foundation, which works to end generational poverty. With
such bent toward giving, as way leads to way it was probably only a matter of
time before Wil found Rotary International, the national nonprofit whose motto
is “Service Above Self.” As it happens, about five years ago Wil was working on
a project with Lee & Associates President Greg Gill. “’Willetta,’” she
recalls his saying, “’you need to be involved in the Rotary Club.’ […] So I
went to a few meetings, and pretty quickly I realized, ‘Yeah, I like these people.’”
Gill says he made the suggestion because Wil’s combination of talent and
community generosity meant she and Rotary Club would both benefit from the
match. “S<span style="background: white;">he’s smart and talented, and easy to
work,” Gill says.</span> “<span style="background: white;">She has a good sense
for the economics of a design as well at the creative aspect—which is not
always the case with artists—and she’s also active and involved in the
community.”</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

a member of the Long Beach Rotary (which is celebrating its centennial this
year), Wil serves as <span style="background: white;">Director of International
Service and is on the Board of Directors for the Community Development
Foundation, positions she modestly characterized as “overseeing the people who
are <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">really</i> doing the work. </span> I’ve always been a feeder, a facilitator. I don’t want to get out there and be
the center of attention. If somebody’s doing something, I will make sure they
have the tools to do it.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></a></div>

<span style="mso-bookmark: OLE_LINK5;"><span style="mso-bookmark: OLE_LINK6;"><span style="font-family: "avenir book"; font-size: 11.0pt;">While
Wil may not be directly involved with some of the Rotary projects she’s
particularly proud of facilitating indirectly (such as drilling wells in
Mozambique “so women and girls don’t have to walk for 20 miles to get water
every day, and so they can stay in school”), each year she is part of a team
that goes to Caborca, Mexico, to assist in the administration of polio
vaccines. And then there’s Camp Enterprise, a three-day Big Bear getaway for 60
high-school juniors and seniors featuring a variety of activities to help them
learn <span style="background: white; color: #1d2129;">what it takes to be
successful in starting and running their own business. “</span><span style="background: white; color: #222222;">Being a Rotarian just increases the
chances of finding opportunities to improve the quality of life, people’s
health and their well being, and making someone safer or less hungry or thirsty</span>,”
Wil says. “<span style="background: white; color: #222222;">We feel it's pretty
important to help others get an education so they can support themselves and
have a family and the opportunity have a great life</span>.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>

none of this might have happened if all those years ago she had not understood
her own psyche well enough to give up psychology as her major, and to approach
her subsequent career from the angle of service. “Interior designers affect
the way people work: whether they’re gong to be productive or unproductive,
whether they’re going to enjoy their life, whether they’re going to sit and
look at a wall or at a view—or if they have to sit and look at a wall, how can
we improve that,” she says. “Everything we do affects how people feel about
what they’re doing [and] how they behave. I could make money doing
something else, but I chose this because it can affect people in a positive way.”<o:p></o:p></span></a></div>

nonprofit agency known as ‘the nation’s premier catalyst for optimizing
population health,’ recently changed its name to Heluna Health. Heluna (a
Hawaiian word for "total count” or “population") Health better
reflects the organization’s work at the community-level implementing and
supporting evidence-based interventions across the population health spectrum.
Heluna Health partners with academic researchers, government agencies,
foundations and private sponsors to offer services such as program development,
contract/grants management, as well as fiscal and human resource
support. With their new identity, Heluna Health will continue
to grow its national portfolio. In addition to a new face, the company
recently introduced a new space.</span></span></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #606060;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-small;">Dr. Blayne Cutler, President
and CEO of Heluna Health, reached out to Environ Architecture’s Alan Burks to
discuss their needs for a new headquarters in the City of Industry. Dr. Cutler
explained, “I thought I had one specific question, but as soon as we got into
the details of the project, I realized that we needed a true partner throughout
the entire build-out to deliver what we imagined for our agency and our staff.” </span></span></div>

<span style="background: white; color: #606060;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-small;">Heluna was looking for a space that reflected the values
of their work— openness, collaboration, engagement and inspiring possibility.
The renovation consisted of 20,922 square feet, 24 private and shared offices,
five conference rooms, a large training room and amenities for six departments.
Environ’s Project Manager, Monique Blais-Algie, worked closely with Dr. Cutler
to create a design that rang true to the values Heluna set forth.</span></div>

The firm opened its doors in 1992 by founder and President, Alan Burks. A few years later, he partnered with Willetta McCulloh, Vice President, and the two have been leading Environ ever since. We are grateful for this journey and look forward to Environ's future.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="text-align: justify;">In early 2017, Environ was approached by AES Corporation's Director of Sustainability, Stephen O'Kane to come up with a facade design for its facility in Los Alamitos. The Alamitos Energy Center will replace its existing plant with a modernized facility.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The proposed modernization will include a replacement of their current water-cooled generators with air-cooled gas turbines, and three 300-megawatt battery buildings for which Environ designed the facades. The new plant will provide system stability by delivering reactive power, voltage support and frequency stability. It's a step forward in support of California's green energy goals. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">In
collaboration with AES's Stephen O'Kane, the Environ team developed a look that
nods to the facility's purpose.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Senior Architect Leticia Mimila explains, "The design concept is inspired by what is happening inside the facility. A building that is creating a battery based energy storage alternative to traditional peaking facilities, the AES facility is one that is cutting edge and focused on <i>energy performance</i> and<i> sustainability</i>. The proposed design features exactly that. </div>

the ever-changing environment, the building’s <i>kinetic facade </i>is
composed of aluminum composite panels that create a rain screen system to
ensure thermal performance and energy efficiencies that are both
beneficial to the owner and the environment. Additionally, the building’s
extended roof feature gestures as though “reaching out” to the city
in which it provides its energy and power. </span></div>

<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">RESTORATION OF SEABORG HOUSE</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The City of South Gate has engaged Environ Architecture to assist in the restoration of the historical landmark known as Seaborg House. Its notable distinction is due to its famous resident Glenn T. Seaborg.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Glenn Seaborg was a Nobel Prize winning Chemist, famous for the discovery of ten transuranium elements, including plutonium. He was a member of the Manhattan Project and is one of a few scientists joining Einstein and Fermi to have a periodic element named after him while still living (Seaborgium). He was a Professor at UC Berkeley, Chairman of the Atomic Energy Commission and advised many of our country's Presidents on nuclear policy.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Environ's Alan Burks and Leticia Mimila are working with City of South Gate's Paul Adams to coordinate the restoration of the significant building. The Seaborg House was moved from its original location on San Antonio to behind the South Gate Museum, where it has sat boarded up until now. It will be moved to a permanent site along Glenn T. Seaborg Way at the south side of City Hall, where it can be viewed and appreciated by the public.</span></div>

To become eligible to sit for the exam, Monique had to have her degree in Interior Design from an accredited program, a minimum number of hours of qualified interior design experience, and letters of reference from licensed professionals in the architecture and design industry. With a Bachelor of Arts in Interior Design and over fifteen years' experience, Monique was more than qualified to take the test.</span></span></span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
A city is only as
rich as its culture. How do we maintain that richness? Well, there's a Cultural
Heritage Commission (CHC) in Long Beach that strives to do just that.
Today, we sit down for a Q&A with CHC Chair and Environ Architecture
President Alan Burks.</div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="font-family: "georgia"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">How and when did you
first get involved with the CHC?</span></b><span style="font-family: "times"; font-size: 10.0pt;"><br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: times; font-size: 10.5pt;">In the mid 1970s I
participated in the first survey of significant structures in Chicago for the
Illinois Landmarks Preservation Council. Since then I was always interested in
preserving and reusing the historic buildings that create places. In 1980 I
co-founded Environ, Inc. Some of our early projects in Chicago repurposed
warehouse and factory buildings into grocery stores, spas, housing, and
offices. We also designed renovations at several National Register sites,
such as the Chicago Academy of Sciences and the Field Museum of Natural
History.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: "times"; font-size: 10.5pt;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: '"times"'; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: times; font-size: 10.5pt;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 10.5pt;">My interest in historical buildings continued after I established Environ
Architecture, Inc. in Long Beach. While serving as President of the
Community Redevelopment Agency of the City of Los Angeles, we provided the
design for many building improvements in the historic Pico-Union district, as
well as the Westlake and Mid-Wilshire districts. We also renovated the Watts-Wilmington
Train Depot and created the restoration plan for the Chinatown Gates. Knowing
about our work, Amy Bodek asked me if I would be interested in serving on the
Cultural Heritage Commission. I agreed, and then-Mayor Bob Foster appointed me
in 2012.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">

</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times"; font-size: 10.0pt;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: 10.5pt;">Every organization
should have a spokesperson that leads the conversation. The CHC elects a Chair
and Vice Chair every year. I have had the privilege to serve as Chair for
several years. We realize that most applicants feel that the Cultural Heritage
Commission is another time-consuming and costly hurdle. We are now trying to be
more understanding of the applicant and want every project to benefit from our
experience and advice. As Chair I am attempting to foster a spirit of
cooperation, while preserving and enhancing our historic districts and
buildings.</span></span></div>

</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times"; font-size: 10.0pt;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: 10.5pt;">The ordinance that
created the CHC is specific about enforcing the Secretary of the Interior’s standards
for historic preservation. While we use these standards as firm guidelines, there
are aspects of the standards that are ambiguous. This means that there we have
some discretion. There is also negotiation. There are many times when the
Commission cannot achieve the desired result. In these instances we are pleased
to simply make it better. For instance, instead of replacing all windows with
historically appropriate windows, we would approve replacing only those that
are most visible.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times"; font-size: 10.0pt;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: 10.5pt;">Every neighborhood
and every building has a backstory. Most are ordinary, while some are significant.
We want to tell the story of the significant neighborhoods and buildings. We
really need to do more with the “Cultural” aspects of our community. Most of
our landmarks and historical districts are designated as such because of
their architectural or physical character. I feel it is the Commission’s
responsibility to tell more about our city’s history and to designate buildings
because of their cultural significance.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Most small and medium sized businesses overlook an important first step when they start their company: their workplace branding. Existing businesses need to revisit their workplace branding from time to time as well because their products, employees or services change and the marketplace does too. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">· How does workplace branding differ from branding in general? </span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">· Why is it important? </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><strong><br /></strong></span></span>
<span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><strong>Workplace branding</strong> </span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">is an extension of your personal or your company’s brand. Your workplace (skyscraper, office, warehouse, desk, etc.) is where you do your work. The simple branding model is YOU + your passion and knowledge or a company’s collective passion and knowledge. For companies of any size successful branding begins with the honest appraisal of your company’s main business, your strengths and your customers’ needs…and how you address them. Workplace branding is like putting the clothes on the model.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">If you have not chosen the location for your business, or if you’re thinking of moving or upgrading, make sure your workplace and the company’s culturally distinct workspace inside it are a direct extension of the simpler branding ideal. Be it a warehouse, an office or a trendy loft, your workplace brand should reflect who you are and how you want both your employees and your customers to perceive you. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><strong>Is your building your brand?</strong> The Transamerica Pyramid in San Francisco is a brand. And while you may not have the resources to build that brand, having a strong sense of your workplace will help clarify who your company is, what you’re offering, and the company’s personality and culture. Result: It will actually make your marketing and operating decisions much easier.</span></span></span><br />

<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14px;">Is your company YOU or are you a group of people? Are you big or are you a boutique? Retail? Wholesale? Manufacturing? Specialized or more generalized in your offering?</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14px;">Do you want to be “trendy” or highly stylized—or does a more buttoned-up description fit better?</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14px;">Is your current workplace part of your brand?</span></span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14px;"> <strong>HOW TO DO IT: 5 Steps to Defining Your Workplace Brand </strong><br /><br /><strong>Step 1</strong><br />Take all the things about your company that can or will be seen or experienced by your customers and put each of them on a white board or on big sheets of paper on the wall. We call this your brand profile.<br /><br />1. Your business name, tagline and logo<br />2. Who and what you say you/your company is<br />3. How you support who and what you say you are<br />4. The real products or services you offer<br />5. Your internal day-to-day operating style<br />6. Your marketing communications and voice<br />7. Your physical space</span></span><br />

<div>
<span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><strong>Step 2</strong><br />Take a coffee break or come back the next day to look at all of the elements together with fresh eyes (very important). Do they go together? Are they consistent? Do they speak with uniformity in the same “voice” to the same person, client, customer, and market? Is the sum of the total your ideal?<br /><br />“Window shop” online for buildings you like. Print photos and add those to the Step 1 lists. Check out Pinterest for color and style ideas for your “dream” workplace. Print and stick your favorites on the wall. Post photos of furniture and fixtures. Pick up paint chips, samples of wall coverings, fabrics. While interior designers and architects are great at this, they are even better at it when they see what you’ve already thought of on your own. </span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><strong>Step 3</strong><br />Evaluate the results. Even with the inconsistencies [and you’ll probably find some] you should be able to see what kinds of clients in general would be most likely to hear and/or be positively influenced by what these elements together are saying.<br /><em>Are these the clients you are targeting?</em></span></span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><strong>Step 4</strong><br />Fix the inconsistencies. If you’re targeting the right clients and can fix the inconsistencies, you can get started marketing. If not, see if you have the right target customers. Carefully check your assumptions. Chat with your architect or designer, too.<br /><br /><strong>Step 5</strong><br />Change or replace the brand profile elements in Step 1 to make your brand voice speak clearly to the target audience you’ve chosen. Then look at all of them again, making sure they’re consistent. We’re betting that the results of Step 1 to 5 will be: </span></span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">You and your employees will be sure of and united by your company’s vision and purpose;</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">You’ll understand more effective ways to present your brand<em> and</em> your workplace brand;</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Your brand voice will be heard more clearly and more often, and will be reacted to more positively by your chosen audience.</span></span></li>

Working carefully through these steps may take a few days—but it’s well worth the effort, and you’ll begin to see even before you complete them that something very exciting is happening for your company.</span></span></div>

How you CAN end hunger by EATING UGLY.<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><a href="http://www.canstruction.org/" target="_blank">CANstruction</a> is an annual competition in which participants
create large structures out of canned food. The purpose of the contest is help
end world hunger. Winners are announced and after a brief exhibit of the structures,
all the cans are donated to local food banks.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">For this year’s CANstruction competition, Environ’s Vice
President Willetta McCulloh came up with a concept that promotes a simple
message: “EAT UGLY.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Her inspiration was an article by <a href="http://www.nationalgeographic.com/magazine/2016/03/global-food-waste-statistics/" target="_blank">National Geographic</a> in
which the statistics of food waste were astounding:</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Nearly 800 million people suffer from hunger. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">46% of fruits and vegetables never make it from farm to fork.
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">According to the largest grower of mandarins in Peru, 30% of
his crop won’t be exported because it won’t be the right size, color, or
sweetness, or it might have blemishes or scars. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.thisisinsider.com/what-is-ugly-food-and-why-should-you-eat-it-2016-5" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5qfa-lE0dQtNJnvnBfH1oDIkA4A5jj1xwzYgaWRgO0-zhyphenhyphentwztJbDT62yhZngTLeG6s-YczidkQzcwP6sl03DioodsGDSh2X2t0ef5tk057eRD00J3Wv2qD2whWStEa8xIKvdHhQ3GLM/s320/one-eyed+pepper+froggy.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Not only does food waste mean more people go hungry, there
is an environmental toll as well. The waste extends to water, fertilizer,
pesticides, seeds, fuel and land needed to grow it. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The good news is that though these statistics are staggering
and the issue seems a steep hill to climb, there is hope to change this
reality. One remarkable hero who has taken on this challenge is Tristan Stuart,
who runs an organization that campaigns against food waste. His interest in
this cause led to his critically acclaimed book <i>Waste: Uncovering the Global Food
Scandal.</i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Fortunately, he isn’t the only one championing this issue.
Some U.S. schools, where children dump up to 40 percent of their lunches into the
trash, are setting up sharing tables, letting students serve themselves
portions they know they’ll eat, allotting more time for lunch and scheduling it
after recess – all proven methods of boosting the chances of “finishing their
plates.”</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Other businesses such as grocery stores, restaurants and
cafeterias, are becoming more thoughtful about purchasing, portion size and
partnering with charities to which they donate, with the intention of reducing
waste. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The trend is growing and has sprouted a number of groups who
are spreading the word. Another hero is Jordan Figuierdo who founded <a href="http://endfoodwaste.org/">EndFoodWaste.org</a> and began the
#UglyFruitandVeg campaign which has 100,000 followers on Twitter, Instagram and
Facebook. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<span style="font-family: inherit;">The great news is that the awareness is not just limited to
grass roots organizations. Larger corporations have taken notice. Whole Foods

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">This month we celebrate Environ's Project Designer Barbara Hordyk, who has been with the company for ten years.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Barbara's talent for design first showed itself in high school, when her mom gave her a budget to redecorate her room. Though she loved the experience so much that she came away feeling this could be her career, she opted to study International Business in college. But after a couple years, she yearned for a more creative experience. Recalling the feeling she got from redecorating her room, she changed her major to Interior Design.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Environ originally learned of Barbara through Alan's wife, who worked with her at the Getty Center. After the project at the Getty Center was complete, Barbara took time off to raise two boys. When she was ready to return to the industry, Environ happened to be looking to hire another associate for its Interiors Department. Perfect timing.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Barbara maintains her credential with the National Council for Interior Design Certification. The certification requires three exams that test one's knowledge of theory, principles of design, building codes, project management and running a business.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">As Barbara says, <a data-cke-saved-href="https://youtu.be/L5GbEYje72o" href="https://youtu.be/L5GbEYje72o" target="_blank">"There's more to it than just picking pretty colors."</a></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit; text-align: left;">The advice Barbara would give to any aspiring designer is two-fold: "Listen and learn from your mentor" (Barbara still has a notebook from past mentors which she still references) and "Always meet your deadlines," which sometimes means working beyond normal business hours. "It's a rewarding career, if you're willing to put in the time," she says. </span></div>

The atmosphere allows me to do multiple things, including client meetings, space planning, construction documents, project management, and even party planning! We also have a diverse set of clients which lets me work on different types of projects, such as clinics, cafes, offices, government buildings...the list goes on. I am constantly challenged."</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Alan Burks on his long-time employee: <em>"I have known Barbara for over 25 years. I was first introduced to her years ago when my wife, Georgina, hired her to work on the Getty Center project. She was an ambitious learner and a talented designer that quickly made an impression on my wife and me. Once the project was complete, I convinced her to come to Environ, where for ten years we have enjoyed her enthusiasm, professionalism, humor and talent. Knowing her has truly been time well spent."</em></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Environ's Willetta McCulloh completed another year with the youth program Camp Enterprise, a <a href="http://www.rotarylongbeach.org/" target="_blank">Long Beach Rotary</a><a href="http://www.rotarylongbeach.org/" target="_blank"> </a>program in which Rotarians and selected LBUSD 17 year olds spend a few days together for entrepreneurial mentoring. Both the mentors and teenagers engage in physical team building challenges, followed by a presentation to all 60 youths and 30 Rotarians. With the guidance of the Rotarians, the students get to dream up their ideal product and create a business plan for it, right down to where the funding comes from. 2016 marks Camp Enterprise's 25th year! It is indeed a rewarding learning experience for all.</span></div>

<span style="color: #606060; font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The building is eligible for the National Registry of Historical Buildings. As such, the exterior of the building could not be altered and maintains a sturdy surface of red brick, which also remained exposed in most walls of the interior. The renovation included a mailroom, report room, evidence room, break room, evidence lockers, and a gymnasium with lockers and showers.</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span></span></div>

<span style="color: #606060; font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The finishes were chosen via collaboration with the police department heads and the unanimous vote on color was one that evokes feelings of trust and solidarity. "We suggested several accent colors," explains Environ's Interior Designer Barbara Hordyk, "and the client insisted it must be blue! Red is for the fire department and green is for the Sherriff. Blue belongs to the Police Department."</span></span></div>

<span style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The project is LEED equivalent, which means measures were taken when possible to use "green" materials. One such feature is the gym floor, which is made from recycled tires. In addition, period appropriate natural linoleum flooring was used throughout for its durability and sustainability. With proper maintenance it will last decades. Drought-resistant plants were chosen for landscaping.</span></span></div>

Saving an already standing structure also has a positive impact on the environment. After all, the most sustainable building is one that already exists. I am very pleased we were able to work to preserve such a historically significant building."</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Aimee Mandala sits below Environ's mission statement in the reception area of its downtown Long Beach office. It's an apt place for this eight-year employee, as she embraces the company's philosophy in everything she does as Environ's Director of Operations.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

In college Aimee studied English and creative writing, never imagining she would end up in a position like the one she holds today. But coming from four generations of architects whose work stretches back to the 1800s, it seems unsurprising that Aimee wound up in the same field. </span></div>

It's a formative experience that took hold: her sister is an architect, while her brother is a BIM manager for a construction company. </span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">During college Aimee waited tables at Bake-N-Broil, and post-grad she worked for a prominent property management firm in Orange County, but found herself yearning for something more. In 2007, it clicked. Aimee's enthusiasm and excitement for the architectural profession was clear, and she decided she needed to be a part of it. </span></span></div>

Aimee reached out to Environ in 2007. "She was very specific," Alan Burks remembers. "When we interviewed Aimee, she expressly stated she was looking for a career as an administrator in an architect's office. Because of her experience, she understand the importance of keeping a creative office organized."</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 16px; text-align: start;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">That she does. Whether she's balancing the books, preparing RFP responses, handling HR issues, or planning events, Aimee demonstrates the perfect balance of creativity and analytical thinking. She is always willing to help and eager to expand her knowledge. As such, in 2009 she both became a LEED Accredited Professional and earned her Certified Design Firm Administrator certificate through the Society of Design Administration, a qualification that requires continuing education to maintain. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 16px; text-align: start;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Additionally, since 2012 Aimee has served as a board member of the Long Beach Chamber of Commerce’s Women’s Business Council and was elected Vice President of Programs for 2015-'16.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">“From the moment we met Aimee, we knew we hit the jackpot," says Judy Nelson, the Chamber's Vice President of Business Councils. "Her personality is warm and friendly, and she is quick to step up to any task that needs doing. I am so lucky to be able to work so closely with her!” </span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Keeping the office organized so the designers can focus on their work is crucial to a smooth operation.

Aimee has high praise for her Environ experience. "I really enjoy the people I work with," she says. "And I really appreciate the responsibility I have been given to be a representative of Environ, looking out for our best interest and being an employee advocate. I also appreciate Environ's culture. I love that Alan and Willetta can be serious when necessary but be carefree and fun enough to try Dubsmash at our company holiday party! They encourage their employees to be themselves, and really care about our families and creating a work/life balance. With a husband and 2 1/2-year-old son, that is priceless in my book. Plus, work is never boring! I get to wear a lot of hats."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">For that the Environ team is grateful, because Aimee wears them all quite well!</span></div>

(MHA) is working with Environ Architecture to expand and relocate their Downtown
Long Beach facilities to 1955-1965 Long Beach Boulevard. The urban
revitalization project was prompted by the agreement between the City of Long
Beach and MHA which provided MHA with the two multi-level buildings where they
will locate their administrative offices, a primary health care clinic, a drop-in
service center and a community room. Also planned is a coffee shop and
restaurant featuring street side dining, bringing new life and activity to the
Long Beach Boulevard corridor. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: , sans-serif;">Architect and President of Environ Architecture, Alan Burks states, “This is an investment in a part of Long Beach that has been ignored for too long.” Burks goes on to say, “We enjoy working with organizations which focus on improving the community and serving the people who live there.” Coincidentally, Environ worked on the interiors of the Social Security Administration building at 2001 Long Beach Boulevard back in 2003 and is currently working with the owner of 1975 Long Beach Boulevard to renovate that building as well. “It will be a true pleasure to see these buildings come alive again and thrive in their communities.”</span></div>

2015 marked the first year Environ participated in the famed <a href="http://canstructionlongbeach.org/" target="_blank">CANstruction</a> competition. Organized by Terri Henry Marketing, the contest recruits engineering and design firms who are asked to create structures entirely out of canned food. Awards are given for Best Use of Labels, Best Meal, Structural Ingenuity, Jurors' Favorite, People's Choice and Honorable Mention. <br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Though our competition was tough - other firms included MHP/P2S, Moffatt & Nichol, SCS Engineers and c|a Architects - we were up for the challenge. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
First things first, we needed a design. This year's theme was "Breakfast CAN make a difference." Emails were exchanged, brainstorming sessions were had, and ideas sprouted. We put our collective thinking hats on, and<br />

<br />

<br />
We found our inspiration in Dr. Seuss' <i>Green Eggs and Ham</i>, and the design statement: "It's a classic; make it fun!" was created to accompany our structure. Drawings and a can count were turned in a month before the scheduled build.</div>

Environ's Vice President Willetta McCulloh explains that the decision for the whimsical design was two-fold: "We wanted something memorable and playful, but another cause that's dear to our hearts is the importance of literacy. Statistics show that in Long Beach, 56 percent of children read below their grade level. By highlighting a classic children's book, we are hoping to raise awareness about nutrition <i>and</i> literacy."<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div class="MsoNormal">
July 18, 2015 marked the ten-year anniversary of Environ
Senior Architect Leticia Mimila. To celebrate this milestone, we sat down with
the tenured employee for a conversation about what makes her tick.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It all started with shapes. As a child, Lety was chosen to
attend a special program for a select group of students who were bused across Long
Beach to receive an advanced curriculum. In middle school she was inspired by
an exercise in 3D. The more complex the shapes became, the more excitedly she
welcomed the challenge. The final assignment was the design of a house, and her
path to pursuing architecture was born. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Having grown up in an impoverished neighborhood, Lety
struggled to fit in with her less ambitious peers. Sometimes she even found
herself hiding her scholastic achievements from friends. This, however, did not
keep her from staying the course to prove to certain elders that she would
overcome the stereotype of a life that often results from a low-income,
single-parent home. The low expectations that some adults in her life had only
made her more determined to become the successful, independent woman she is
today.<o:p></o:p></div>

Lety attributes much of her success to her mother, who often
worked two jobs to support her and her brother. “We were poor,” explains Lety. “My
mom did what it took to survive and always stressed the importance of an
education. I was proud to have been the first in my family to graduate from
college.” During her five years at Cal Poly Pomona, Lety managed to go to
school and work full-time to help her family make ends meet. It was a struggle,
but she was determined. <o:p></o:p></div>

When asked how she felt about studying a male-dominated
profession, Lety said it didn’t hold her back. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“I was a tomboy!” she explains. “Because I was
always playing sports and keeping up with the guys, I was accustomed to being
in a male-dominated situation. It never intimidated me.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>With female trailblazers and mentors like
those before her, she believes that the imbalance of gender in the
architecture/engineering field is something that is slowly changing.<o:p></o:p></div>

While in college, Leticia studied abroad in Italy. It was
there that she got to see some of her favorite buildings in person, learn the
language and soak up some culture. “It was the first time in my life I was
truly on my own, without the confines of helping the family survive,” she says.
“I got to grow and thrive.” Lety learned a lot living abroad and can even carry
on a conversation in Italian. Her favorite Italian-born architect is Filippo
Brunelleschi who designed the dome of the Florence Cathedral. She is also a
great admirer of Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, whose quote she often uses, “Less if
more.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>

Lety has always had a competitive spirit. First seen in her
schooling and playing sports as a child and now in her determination to excel
in her work. Leticia is doing everything she can to stay at the forefront of
the architectural world. She earned her Leadership in Energy and Environmental
Design (LEED) Accreditation in 2009, her Architectural License in 2010, her National
Council of Architectural Registration Board (NCARB) Certification in 2011, and in
2013 she became a Subject Matter Expert for the California Architects Board (CAB)
and the Department of Consumer Affairs’ Office of Professional Examination
Services where she assists in the development, maintenance, administration,
validation and occupational analysis of the architectural licensing examination.
Most recently she was asked to be on the NCARB Task Force Member on the Pace of
Change in the Architecture Profession.
Her involvement with the CAB and NCARB take her to Sacramento and
Washington, D.C. to help in the decision-making process. Determination and dedication are two words
that come to mind when thinking about all that Leticia has accomplished.</div>

Leticia’s motivation to excel is seen not only in her work, but
also in other facets of her life. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A
work-life balance is something she strives for daily. She is a wife to her
husband, Sam, and an active, loving mother to her son, Noah, who she often
races home to see on her lunch break. Keeping family at the forefront has
always been a priority. She also has a strong passion for running - running
marathons to be specific. No big deal (or “NBD” as the kids are saying these days).
She belongs to running groups, including A Running Experience Club (AREC), which
keeps her excited and ready for her races. Her approach to training for a race
can be paralleled to her approach to her work: prepare, plan, execute. This
philosophy also makes Lety a great mentor. She is responsible for training all
other designers at Environ - no small task - while simultaneously managing
various large projects. <o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
When asked which one of her projects she is most proud of, she
chooses more than one answer: “I am proud of <a href="http://environinc.blogspot.com/2014/10/belmont-point-room-with-view.html" target="_blank">Belmont Point</a> because I got
to see it develop from a sketch to the final building and be a part of it each
step of the way. It’s cool when you can see it take shape.” But there are other
projects of which she is equally proud – whether or not they are show-stoppers
visually – because they provide function for the well-being of the communities
in which they reside. For example, Leticia was the Project Manager for the
relocation design of the Long Beach East Division Police Substation<u>,</u>
which will soon be housed in the historic Schroeder Hall building. Prior to
Environ, she was part of a team that developed the prototype for senior
housing. This experience established the footing for subsequent service-based
projects such as the <a href="http://environinc.blogspot.com/2015/03/multi-service-center-ready-for-community.html" target="_blank">Long Beach Multi-Service Center</a> and her
current project, Mental Health America. <o:p></o:p></div>

With ten years of her career spent at Environ, Lety has grown along with the firm, developing her skills, aesthetic and understanding of the profession. When asked what she has enjoyed most about working here, she says, “Working for a boutique firm is a great way to get to do a little bit of everything. There is a lot of problem solving that happens to get a project from start to finish. At Environ I have had the opportunity to wear a lot of hats and gain a lot of experience.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
The advice she has for those considering a career in
architecture is “not do it for the prestige or glamour, because it is hard
work. Do it because you care about the people who will inhabit or occupy your
design. If you’re willing to work, go for it.”</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As designers, we are often asked what inspires us. It is a
broad question and can render many answers. When an idea arises, it can be from
the culmination of a series of events, or even a single random experience. What
inspires us is forever changing, as it should be.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">With the daily grind of drafting and modeling, sometimes the
“why” is lost. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As much as routine is
comforting, do you ever have a day when something happens that shakes you out
of the expected? And even if it interrupts your flow, somehow you’re energized?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

downtown Long Beach firms toured, we spread the humor and challenged the
attendees to come up with a design using a sheet of paper. The time limit was
thirty seconds at which point each contestant was told to place their
creations down to be judged. Competition was fierce and prizes were categorized as “A Builder’s Dream,” “A Builder’s Nightmare,” and “Most Creative.”</span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Many famous inventions happened by accident. Did you know
that a melted candy bar led to the modern-day microwave? Or how about Velcro?
This was invented after an engineer returned from walking his dog and noticed
how perfectly the cockleburs bound to the dog’s fur. Indeed, nature has often been
named as an inspiration to designers, and will forever hold clues to your next big idea.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Many companies struggle with new business growth by not knowing how to create and leverage efficiencies in their workplace. You already know how to manage your workforce, but you may not know that replanning your workplace can increase efficiency and save you money.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Few things are more exciting than replanning your workplace. You will have the opportunity to discover much more about your business and processes. You and your design professional should spend quality time together analyzing work spaces, designing specialized millwork, and selecting finishes. Your design professional should be either a registered architect or certified interior designer with experience in commercial interiors.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
You may be wondering how to begin the conversation about your workplace. Questions such as:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"What do I need?"</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"How much space and what type of space is most conducive to my business?"</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"What amenities do I need to attract and retain a talented workforce?"</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Or ultimately,</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Should I stay where I am and renovate to gain efficiencies or should I relocate?"<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>1. Find the right Design Professional. </b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Like many other fields, word of mouth is the best way to find a design professional. Ask professional colleagues for referrals. If there is a particular workplace that you admire, knock on the door to yield an introduction to your project's potential designer. Professional organizations such as <a href="http://www.boma.org/" target="_blank">BOMA</a> or the <a href="http://www.aia.org/" target="_blank">AIA</a> or other trade-related groups would also be ale to furnish some referrals. Be sure to visit websites of your candidates and look at their previous work. Get a feel for their core values and how they operate. Make an appointment for consultation to meet the design team face to face, and begin a conversation.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Begin by having a discussion. Let them know the most important aspects of your project and ask how they will be incorporated into a process. Start with the aspects of your workplace you currently like. Talk about what you don’t like about your workplace. Discuss the processes they use to consistently achieve high standards. Even though the designer might have an attractive portfolio and good references you will still want to make sure their design process and approach is right for you and your project. You should feel that they not only listen to your needs, but also, assimilate them. It would be appropriate to ask them how they will approach your project.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Signing a contract with a firm principal representing a design firm does not necessarily mean that person will be your project design professional. It is common practice to assign a staff design professional other than the first point of contact. Be sure to meet this person, before making any final decisions. Being able to communicate freely and openly with your design professional is vital to the success of your project. You should share a clear understanding of your project goals with your design professional and feel completely comfortable about communicating with them.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
There are many factors that will affect whether or not your business should stay and renovate, or find a new location. You’ll need to review your lease and see what options you have. Take into consideration the amount of time left on your lease, whether or not there is a Tenant Improvement allowance, and whether or not there is available space adjacent or within the building. Get an understanding of the cost involved in renovating vs. relocating. You may be surprised that renovating comes with some additional cost if the construction process if phased. Have your design professional assist with a comparison.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Designers understand how elevations and floor plans translate into actual workplaces. Some people, however, have difficulty visualizing their space by using these instruments. Many people really have no idea what their workplace will look like until it is completed and sometimes they are not as pleased as they should be. So, what happened? There wasn’t a clear visualization of the project. A 3-D model is the best way to see how your workplace will look when built. Software today allows a person to see a design from multiple angles and experience a walk through of virtual space. Being able to design in 3-D helps people become engaged in the design process while enjoying the walk-through experience before the space is built. Don’t hesitate to ask for a 3-D model before finalizing the design of your project. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Conceptual renderings and construction documents are not the only services design firms can provide. Ask about other services your candidate’s firm may offer. Discuss the benefits of specific services to you and their corresponding costs. Perhaps there are additional services offered that could be useful to you for your particular project. If a firm doesn’t offer a requested service, they should be able to refer a firm that does.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>7. Figure the Fees.</b></span></div>
<span style="text-align: justify;">Design fees are calculated many different ways. The most common fee structure is based on the size of the facility or a per square foot fee. Depending on the size, complexity and project scope of the project these fees can range from a low of $2.50 / S.F. for a large but simple project to over $10.00 / S.F. for a small and complex project. Incurring engineering fees for mechanical, electrical, plumbing, life safety and structural engineering significantly increases the overall cost. Many designers will simply estimate how many man hours are required and multiply the hours by their billing rates to generate a fee quote.</span><br />
<span style="text-align: justify;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you and your designer are looking at several possible locations, it may be best for you and your designer to work at an hourly rate until you have pinned down a site and design image. Billing monthly is the industry standard, but you work together to find the most agreeable way. Establish when payment is expected and their preferred method of payment, i.e. check, credit card, or direct deposit. Lastly, when your architect or designer hires consultants or pays plan check fees on your behalf, it’s normal. Keep in mind that the architect or designer would add a percentage to their fees to cover their accounting costs. </div>

<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Congratulations! You now have the key information that will help you prepare your workplace for your business growth. The next step should be to get a Space Utilization Program and Design Image Statement in which your specific needs and available options are identified. This will give you an idea of what your workplace might look like and what it will take to get there.<br />
<br />
Typically, the Space Utilization <i>Program and Design Image Statement</i> saves our clients thousands of dollars and weeks of lost time, not to mention the stress of not knowing what the outcome will be. Eliminating uncertainty is the most important step in "thriving through design."</div>

Located mid-city, the 16,000 square foot facility is a social service access center that provides a wide variety of integrated, on-site services for individuals and families experiencing homelessness. The LBMSC provides accommodations for amenities such as shower and laundry facilities, a mailing center, abuse treatment, HIV/AIDS services, case management and housing coordination. Twelve non-profit agencies operate from the LBMSC to provide a one-stop-shop for its users. Construction on the redesigned center commenced in early 2014. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">The LBMSC staff and users needed a space that was welcoming, accessible, and comfortable. The exterior of the building received a facelift with design elements that highlighted the new entrance, new and more distinct signage, as well as new accessible hardscape and complimentary landscaping. Additionally, an exterior seating area was installed, creating a welcoming shelter for arriving clients. </span></div>

Environ’s design team, led by <a href="http://environinc.blogspot.com/2015/08/life-takes-shape-with-environs-lety.html" target="_blank">Leticia Mimila</a>, remedied this by relocating the entrance and expanding the waiting area. This not only provided more space to prevent overflow, but it also created a more comfortable and welcoming environment. The use of bright colors and modern fixtures present a fresh, inviting new look that both LBMSC employees and their clients can enjoy.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">This remodel was dedicated to sustainability and all materials and finishes were chosen for their “green” qualities and cost effective attributes. Some notable features are the translucent ceiling panels that provided the illusion of an exposed ceiling while simultaneously providing savings on utility costs. The translucent ceilings also allowed for the existing skylights to filter natural light into the space. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Environ helped facilitate other interior improvements that included restructuring departments to create a more secure environment for both social workers and clients. According to the LBMSC’s program director, Elsa Ramos, when she toured the new facility with her faculty one staff member was moved to tears. Additionally, a homeless attendee said that the new facility makes its users feel respected. We are proud to have taken part in an effort to improve the quality of life for members of the Long Beach community. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The recession is finally over. Or, at least it’s beginning to feel that way. All of us in the architectural and building professions have been struggling for the last 8 years but 2014 seems to have been the turning point. </span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Environ completed more buildings in 2014 than in the previous 5 years. And they are of varying project types: student housing, government laboratories, restaurants, higher education facilities, institutional facilities, several commercial building renovations, a multitude of tenant improvements and several master plans. We were able to increase our design staff by 30% and expect to add more talent in 2015. A lot of our long time clients have also experienced a growth spurt and have expanded or moved into larger facilities to accommodate their needs. </span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">We have a new mayor, and there’s definitely a new energy in the air. Change can be scary, however, and many of us proceed with caution. That said, I do see the potential for future integration of design disciplines, with more partnerships between construction and architecture forming, uniting to create a seamless experience for end users. This prospect is exciting and opens up opportunity to expand services into other areas like product design. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The movie “Back to The Future II” portrayed 2015 as having flying cars. We’re not quite there, but things are looking up. 2014 was good. Here’s to making 2015 great.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px;">So your finished project looks great, but how does it sound? Your response may be, “Come again?” or, “Say what?”</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 13px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div style="font-size: 13px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">It is usually no surprise that when it comes to building an auditorium or concert venue, the project would require a noise specialist or acoustician. With the influx of demand for open creative space, there is an increased need for such services to ensure security and privacy in some professions that were previously occupying the more typical, compartmentalized office layout.</span></div>

</div>
<div style="font-size: 13px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">One of our 2014 projects involved a utility field that ran noisy equipment throughout the day. With its close proximity to a residential neighborhood, the client needed a solution to create sound barriers that were not only efficient noise buffers, but were also aesthetically pleasing. We relied on previous noise studies done on the property and worked with a few manufacturers of sound walls to come up with a custom look that would be functional and blend in with the overall look of the site. </span></div>

<div style="font-size: 13px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Another recent project involved a facility with sensitive laboratory equipment that was positioned close to an airport. Not only did we need a way to buffer noise of aircraft activity for the occupants, there was also the risk of exterior glass being compromised with the vibrations of helicopters. Appropriate measures were taken in order to prevent negative effects of the surrounding use. </span></div>
</div>
<div style="font-size: 13px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div style="font-size: 13px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">In some offices, confidentiality can be an issue, so studies are completed to ensure private conversations are kept private. With the mentioned examples, consultants such as <a href="http://newsonacoustics.com/" target="_blank">Newson Brown Acoustics</a>, have provided the expertise needed from the onset of the job. In other cases, noise abatement can be resolved internally. When tenants wish for the ever-popular open space floor plan, the issue of noise becomes a topic of conversation. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 13px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">In a recent project, Environ designers remedied this problem in an open-ceiling conference room by specifying an upholstered wall system with acoustic, tackable panels designed to reduce noise. Not only did it absorb sound, but the design solution doubled as an artful decorative piece. Other solutions might include suspended materials from the exposed ceilings.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Whether by utilization of an acoustic consultant, or innovative techniques developed by a design team, the consideration of noise abatement is always sound practice. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span id="goog_1486064436"></span><span id="goog_1486064437"></span>After the success of Environ’s renovation of Mitchell Land & Improvement Company’s Naples Plaza, the Long Beach-based developer engaged Environ to reposition and expand the existing building at the intersection of 2nd Street, The Toledo and Bay Shore Avenue in Long Beach. </span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The building will serve as Mitchell Land & Improvement’s corporate headquarters, with retail space available on the ground floor.</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Tim Wilson, President of Mitchell Land and Improvement, said the property had been on his radar for the last ten years, not only for the many amenities 2nd Street has to offer, but for its proximity to his home.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<a name='more'></a></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">As with many projects, challenges were presented during the entitlement and approvals phase. Tim credits Environ for helping aid in accelerating required approvals, “It was Alan’s relationship with the City that really helped get us through the process.”</span></div>
</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The project was led by Environ’s <a href="http://environinc.blogspot.com/2015/08/life-takes-shape-with-environs-lety.html" target="_blank">Leticia Mimila</a>, who worked closely with contractor Kelty Co. Construction of Signal Hill. The vision for the final design was a collaborative effort. Finishes of cool grays and warm browns were chosen to provide an aesthetic that is rich and welcoming. The executive offices open to a patio that overlooks the bay.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Aside from the outstanding view, Mitchell Land & Improvement Company looks forward to a more efficient work environment, and Tim specifically looks forward to the one and a half minute commute.</span></div>
