Project Overview
MEP engineering for the Army Suite Phase 2 – Norwalk project supports the partial interior renovation of approximately 8,385 square feet of single-level office space within an existing commercial building located at 12440 Imperial Highway in Norwalk, California.
The Phase 2 tenant improvement includes a combination of private and open offices, meeting rooms, break areas, corridors, a dedicated server/IT room, and associated support spaces. The project requires a coordinated building systems approach to support workplace functionality, occupant comfort, technology infrastructure, and efficient day-to-day operations.
Project Scope
MEP engineering services support the Phase 2 renovation and coordination of building systems throughout the affected office areas. The design addresses the requirements of administrative workspaces, collaboration and meeting areas, employee amenities, circulation spaces, and technology support rooms while integrating with the existing commercial building infrastructure.
All Phase 2 improvements will be coordinated and submitted as one plan check and permit package, helping streamline regulatory review and project delivery.
