Abstract/Artist Statement
Media X is a new major at the University of the Pacific. Dedicated educational space is needed for this unique program. The aim of this project was to design a building for the Media X program that functions as the central hub for the students and faculty, as well as the creative coursework and production components of the program. It will be located where the South Campus Gym and adjoining lawn are now and will cover 27,000 square feet of this area. The building will contain spaces for stage production, a fabrication studio, storage facilities, and student/faculty use areas such as computer labs, faculty offices, and congregational areas.
Design of the Media X building included consideration of stakeholder input, site constraints, and time limitations. The building and site design included design of the foundation, a two-story timber structure, sustainable storm water management features, transportation components (for pedestrians, bicycles, and vehicles), and utility connections to the campus potable water, non-potable water, stormwater, and sanitary sewer systems.
A presentation will be given outlining the design approach taken by the whole team. A report containing all written deliverables including an environmental analysis, sustainability analysis, design narrative, project cost estimate, and preliminary construction drawings, will be submitted. Finally, a poster will be presented summarizing the design.
The civil engineering faculty at Pacific, industry advisors, and Physical Plant staff served as resources. Design data and standards were adopted from the relevant governing agencies such as the City of Stockton and San Joaquin County. Foundational sources of information were the California Building Code, Plumbing Code, Fire Code, Post-Tensioned Slab on Ground Design Manual, California Disabled Accessibility Handbook, and other local municipal design guides.
