         1. Marion Anderson Hall (UCLA Anderson School of Management)

            Marion Anderson Hall achieved LEED-NC BD+C Platinum Certification with many sustainable strategies and features: 

             

            Campus Features

            • Part of the densely‐populated campus community network, the building has excellent proximity to Central Campus, Public Transit, Westwood Village 

            1. Occupants can easily walk to nearby live performances, museums, shops, and restaurants
            2. Easily reached by bicycle, and proximate to cycling amenities and showers
            3. New ground floor showers serve Anderson's bike commuters

            • Served by UCLA’s Transportation Demand Management (TDM) program (now celebrating 30 years of success)

            1. Campus shuttles, bus subsidies, bikeshare, carpools, Zimride, Zipcars, vanpools, electric fleet
            2. A Campus drive‐alone rate of only 23% (compared to 73% for Los Angeles County overall)
            3. TDM supports UCLA’s Climate Action Plan and goal to reach carbon neutrality by 2025

            • Open spaces feature native and drought tolerant plantings and campus‐standard, high‐SRI hardscape

            • UCLA’s campus is a tobacco‐free environment

            • UCLA Zero‐Waste Plan and single‐stream recycling program divert over 70% of campus waste from landfill

            • Anderson Bruin Green Cleaning uses healthy, natural‐based products for indoor and outdoor maintenance

            Marion Anderson Hall Water Savings 

            • Water use 42% lower than EPAct Standards, over 50% lower for landscape irrigation

            • High‐efficiency / low‐flow sinks, showers, and toilets

            Marion Anderson Hall Energy Savings

            • The Addition was designed to outperform California’s stringent Title 24‐2008 energy code standard by 20.5%:

            1. High-performance building envelope - walls and roof, windows and insulation
            2. Insulated glass with a low Solar Heat Gain Coefficient of 0.36

            • Cool white roofing with a High Solar Reflectivity Index (SRI) over 82 to reduce cooling loads

            • All parking is covered to limit the urban heat island effect

            • Natural ventilation and individual controls help maximize thermal comfort for occupants

            • Occupancy sensors control lighting in most spaces

            • Efficient building systems, including displacement ventilation

            • Enhanced Commissioning optimized performance and operating efficiency

            Marion Anderson Hall protects indoor environmental quality

            • Ventilation rates exceed the standards in ASHRAE 62.1‐2007

            • Construction processes protected mechanical systems from contamination during installation and thoroughly flushed out indoor air prior to occupancy

            • Construction Materials are low‐emitting or no‐VOC products; UCLA custodial uses healthy cleaning products

            The new building allows UCLA Anderson to address changes in the learning technologies and career needs of the 21st century. Classrooms with the latest technologies for innovative pedagogy and programming, breakout rooms with the flexibility for collaborative learning environments and meeting and event areas will bring the Anderson community together and present the opportunity for purposeful design that advances Anderson's culture of sharing success, thinking fearlessly and driving change.
