The existing library facility is sited to take full advantage of the scenic views of the Sweetwater River valley and Chula Vista golf course. This project was a roughly 3,200 SF addition of a Children’s Area, and complete remodel of the existing 10,000 SF Library including Marketplace, Study Rooms, Community Room, and Staff Area. The addition was developed to take advantage of views, while also protecting the occupants from wayward balls from the adjacent golf course.

Snipes-Dye Associates partnered with P2S Engineering, Inc to provide Utility Master Plan updates for both campuses within the San Bernardino Community College District. This effort involved detailed survey and assessment of each and every utility on both of the campuses, detailed topography, and mapping of all existing utilities. All infrastructure was assessed for life cycle capacities and projected campus growth models were considered. Recommendations for current and future capital infrastructure needs were developed to assist SBCCD in long range planning and capital expenditures. SDA has served the SBCCD campus for the past 15 years and our long history together continues as we look ahead.

Elephant Odyssey is the most ambitious exhibit project the San Diego Zoo has ever developed. This new area showcases animals in a truly unique setting. Guests have an opportunity to see elephants in an exhibit that features a state-of-the-art care center as well as mixed-species exhibits with some unusual animals. Mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, and insects can all be found in Elephant Odyssey. These seemingly unrelated animals from all over the world are, in fact, connected through their ancestral history in Southern California. By looking into the past and listening to the stories that fossils and living species can tell, we hope you will learn more about the special animals that we share our planet with today.

Snipes-Dye Associates has been supporting the efforts of SDG&E as they continually improve their numerous facilities all across San Diego County. Construction is nearing completion on 2 new buildings at SDG&E’s Miramar C&O Facility. SDA partnered with RNT Architects on a Weld Shop Training Facility and a Warehouse. Each project was processed separately through the building department to obtain a building permit for the site improvements. Each project installed a modular wetlands unit to treat the runoff and an underground cistern was installed to meet the hydromod requirements. SDA prepared a SWPPP for as both projects collectively exceeded 1-acre. SDA has partnered with SDG&E for over ten years and is continuing that effort on many current projects.
