Relevant Project Experience Auto Club Enterprises ACE I.S. Restack Costa Mesa, CA Reflecting the Auto Club's motto, "We're Always With You", Gensler regards our client relationship with this same level of commitment. Commencing in the Fall of 2016, Gensler moved quickly into the Programming Phase for Auto Club Enterprise's (ACE) two -floor, 104,000 sf Information Systems remodel to create a high -performing workspace that would support their collaborative spirit of working. Situated within an 800,000 sf campus, the c. 1980 building was devoid of daylight. The tunnel corridors and high partitions blocked views and created silos that did not allow for cross communication, much less direct collaboration. Utilizing the advantage of recent building code adoptions, Gensler was able to open up each 52,000 sq. ft. floorplate, resulting in a direct line of sight from one end of the building, through an enclosed atrium, across the floor to the opposite side of the building, infusing the floors with daylight and openness. Creative problem solving with the city allowed the two-hour atrium to be punctuated with millwork framed windows that supported the through -views from each side of the building. With the second floor extending beyond the third floor, Gensler utilized the staggered building footprint to carve out a new 1,400 sf roof top deck, which also enlivens the workplace with access to the outside environment.
