DMV Granada Hills. I partnered with the property owner of strip mall to design and develop a submittal package to the Department of Motor Vehicles to consider as a potential site. To which was accepted as one of five locations being added in the state of California to support new ID legislation and the expected traffic demand. The location was the largest of it’s kind at 35,000sf and was completed first despite others starting earlier. The project included the renovation of the building and SMEP systems and buildout of space that employed 150 employees and served thousands of Southern Californians.
