Design Lecture Series and General Meeting
June 17, 2004
 FDA at Irvine, with Dusty Rhoads, AIA, and Rachel Kur, AIA
Zimmer Gunsul Frasca Partnership
Designed by Zimmer Gunsul Frasca Partnership in joint venture with Henningson Durham & Richardson, this 133,000-square-foot federal facility was designed to serve the Pacific Region, replacing and consolidating a 50-year-old Los Angeles Laboratory and former District Office in Irvine. Completion of this building marks the culmination of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's 10-year strategic plan to improve efficiency and facilitate a changing institutional culture and new work methods. This 100-year-old institution now has a facility to match its vision and forward-looking image, with an environment that will encourage innovation and interaction.
