General Description: The 5 story Medical Office Building (MOB) is located at 5901 West Olympic Boulevard, approximately 6 miles east of the UCLA Campus and is approximately 95,607 GSF. The proposed project would include seismic improvements on all floor levels and interior tenant improvements of approximately 34,000 GSF of space on floors 1-3. The MOB has a current Seismic Performance Rating of V. Upon completion of the work, the MOB would achieve a Seismic Performance Rating of IV or better and bring the facility into compliance with the UC Seismic Safety Policy. The proposed seismic work will include the installation of approximately 34 seismic dampers placed at specified locations on the inside perimeter of the building's exterior walls. The dampers will be installed diagonally and attached at the bottom and top of the existing steel column bays requiring incidental fireproofing at beam and column modifications. Steel reinforcing plates will be added to existing steel beams and columns to support the installation of seismic damper brackets. Additional seismic reinforcing is required at the existing rooftop mechanical penthouse and at the building foundation at locations along the 1st floor seismic dampers.
