Experienced and Successful Team: els+swa proposes a core team
<br />of architects, landscape architects, designers and engineers that can
<br />provide the vision, leadership, and technical skills required to gauge the
<br />opportunities of each site and realize City of Manhattan Beach goals.
<br />Our key members are: Clarence D. Mamuyac, Jr., FAIA, LEED AP, BD+C
<br />(Principal-in-Charge/Project Manager - ELS); Stephen Rydson, ASLA
<br />(Principal for Park Master Planning — SWA), Kim -Van Truong, AIA, LEED
<br />AP BD+C (Project Architect - ELS); Kenneth Hasegawa, AIA (Design
<br />Principal - ELS); Dana Vollmer -Grant, Assoc. AIA, WELL AP, 5X Olympic
<br />Gold Medalist, CBSM (Aquatics Programming Specialist — ELS); Chris
<br />Anderson, ASLA (Project Landscape Architect — SWA); and Beckie Denio,
<br />AIA, LEED AP (Sr. Construction Administrator — ELS). Each person can
<br />draw on prior successful collaborations that achieved planning and design
<br />excellence for multiple municipalities, particularly aquatic, recreation, and
<br />wellness projects with complex programs on challenging sites. Joining this
<br />core team: Aquatic Design Group (Aquatics); KPFF (Civil); John A. Martin
<br />and Associates (Structural), Guttmann and Blaevoet (Mech/Elect/Plumb/
<br />Fire Protection) and Mack5 (Cost Estimating), all of whom have shared in
<br />els+swa's 35-year portfolio of collaboration.
<br />For several decades, Memorial Park neighborhood residents and visitors
<br />have enjoyed the 17-acre Memorial Park and Pool through softball and
<br />baseball games, soccer, basketball, volleyball, picnicking, swimming, and
<br />perhaps car club events. Whether providing space for a solitary stroll or
<br />hosting an age -group swimming meet, water polo match, or USA Masters'
<br />event, Memorial Park can do it all. It is, quite simply, an extraordinary
<br />neighborhood asset. The addition of a new community aquatics center will
<br />create new and enhanced engagements with all the park has to offer. It
<br />will create new pedestrian and bike system linkages throughout the park,
<br />reinforce the park as a living memorial, and augment the Roberto Del
<br />Hoyo mural, the stage, the beautiful mature trees, and inviting lawn areas.
<br />Memorial Park is set to realize a dream for the neighborhood and Santa
<br />Ana, a transformation that will keep Memorial Park as a community treasure
<br />in this century and beyond.
<br />We will look forward to your next steps. Should you require any additional
<br />information or have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Clarence
<br />at our Los Angeles Office, 213.348.1155, by mobile phone at 510.684.1159,
<br />or at cmamuyac@elsarch.com.
