The Civic-Recreational-Industrial Authority of City of Industry selected Ehm Architecture to design this facility in 1998. The new structural roof cover provides a venue for all-weather events, which includes concerts, car and boat shows, spots events and the City’s annual charity rodeo. The existing 5,700-seat arena was master planned to allow for an increase of 5,000 seats as bookings increase. The project is part of the Industry Hills Resort, which won the Civil Engineering Achievement of the Year Award in 1982 for its reclamation of a former landfill in the Los Angeles basin.

A new concrete monument was located onsite and features a granite memorial slab to be inscribed with names of local veterans. The project also features a public plaza.

This 6,000 square foot office building was designed for the Port Gamble S’Klallam Tribe under an invited competition. The project features passive solar systems including large roof overhangs, thermal massing and flagstone heat retention walls as well as greywater systems and natural daylighting. The project was designed in our pursuit of an appropriate Northwest Style, and evokes the spirit of the Tribe through its sculptural and cultural language.

This $1.4 million project for San Diego Unified Port District entailed demolition of 1970’s-era awnings and feature elements, repainting of the entire façade, four column/brace designs and a new 17,000 square foot steel canopy.

Under a two-year initial As-Needed Services contract with the Port District which has been extended for three more years to date, we have provided ADA Compliance Services at the North Embarcadero Laurel Street Crescent, at Coronado Tidelands Park, at La Playa Beach and at Imperial Beach Pier. We have also designed interior improvements and reroof at the B Street Pier Cruise Ship Terminal, we have designed roof repairs at Portwood Pier Plaza in Imperial Beach and are now working on window replacements at the Harbor Island Port Police Headquarters.

Washington State Department of Enterprise Services selected Ehm Architecture for this project in 2016. We have completed a Facility Condition Assessment of roof systems, building envelope, HVAC systems, electrical systems and structural integrity with respect to current seismic risks. The project is currently in the Legislative Budgeting process. The 144,000 square foot facility houses the State’s Printing & Imaging Facility, so is a secure facility.

City of Gig Harbor hired us to design emergency repairs to the building envelope and replacement of the entire roofing system at the Civic Center Complex. The roofing shingles failed prior to their warranteed service life, and were the subject of a class action lawsuit against the manufacturer. The cementitious board-and-batten siding system is being replaced due to construction defects.

Our entry in the Global Green Competition for New Orleans was focused on utilization of Randal Ehm’s fiberglass housing unit. The initial product, which is in the form of an Indian tipi, was developed for Russell Means . Mr. Means co-founded the American Indian Movement in the 1970’s. This proposal suggests incorporation of buoyant hulls into the design of the homes, so that in a flood the homes would not flood and could be retrieved if dislodged from their anchorages. In this design scheme, modular tipis serve as the single-family residential component. The community center is designed utilizing the existing tipi forms as building corners, with new straight panels designed to create the larger building enclosures. This entry was exhibited in New Orleans, New York and Washington DC as part of Global Green’s public awareness campaign on sustainable design and green building principles. The tipi project is currently in the patenting process, with the 3-story prototype having been built on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota.

Ehm Architecture provided pro bono design and fundraising services on this 2-acre community park in 1996. The park was founded by a community activist after a child was struck and killed by a car, near a wooded area along a busy road. Seeing a great need for park facilities in her neighborhood, the activist solicited our Principal Architect Randal Ehm's assistance. Randal designed the park and helped with fundraising, securing donations of cash, materials and labor and overseeing construction. The park was featured in a front page article by San Diego Union-Tribune.

As part of a solar energy generation project, we were engaged by Engineering Partners Inc. to produce an ADA Transition Plan for this public park in San Diego County. Our Scope of Work included Site Design and Construction Documents Services for accessible parking, restroom and site access compliance.

We are now in year five of what was initially a two-year agreement to serve San Diego Unified Port District with As-Needed Architectural and ADA Compliance Services. Among the several projects we have been assigned to date is emergency reroofing of the existing Cruise Ship Terminal. The 160,000 square foot roof was replaced in 2012.

In response to the City of Puyallup’s request for proposals, Ehm Architecture designed this 11,500 square foot public market building. The site is in the City’s historic Pioneer Park, and is adjacent to the new Puyallup Library. This design is intended to relate to and harmonize with the library, so similar design elements were used including monolithic concrete porticos and end walls, brick masonry exterior walls with terra cotta base details, and steel trellis work. The facility can accommodate 64 vendors indoors, and provides for exterior tent setup for food vendors. The facility is designed as a free-span structure, to allow for use as a function space or special events center. Images of the library are shown in the inset photos.
