Hard Rock Hotel Resort Casino Expansion, Las Vegas, NV. Fire life safety director of the 35,000 square meter expansion of an existing high-rise hotel casino resort. The project included two new high-rise towers, new convention center as well as a new live theater venue. Existing systems required integration with the proposed expansion in a way such that phasing could be accomplished without business interruptions. Seattle Library Atrium Smoke Control, Seattle, Washington Performance based analysis and specification of new high-rise library atrium smoke control system. Assisted architect and mechanical engineer with a number of smoke control challenges. With the analysis it was shown that the code prescribed 350 cm/s could be reduced to approximately 125 cm/s. Mandalay Bay Convention Center, Las Vegas, Nevada The analysis of a unique egress design system for the convention center halls. Performance based design resulting in the permission of extending the exit travel distances in excess of prescriptive standards. The extension permitted larger halls and greater flexibility of the spaces. Museum of Flight, Tukwila, Washington Assisted design team in developing code conforming plans for the new Museum of Flight in Tukwila, Washington. Worked directly with NBBJ architects in resolving numerous challenges. Among the challenges, proper sprinkler system design requirements, issues with an adjacent existing historic building, and the use of a fire wall specially protected with an automatic fire sprinkler system. Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART), San Francisco Bay Area, California Project Fire Engineer for the design of seven stations that form the extension of the current BART network. The work includes the review of architectural designs, development and assistance of egress design calculations and overall coordination of national fire safety standards and code requirements of the California Building Code. Also involved with analyzing train station and vehicle safety according to building standards utilizing fire simulation tools to better understand the fire hazard. Bellevue International Plaza/Park 8, Bellevue, Washington Under design in 2015-2016, Armin provided smoke control and fire safety code consulting services to the design team for a proposed 40+ story residential tower. Stair pressurization of 400+ foot tall stairshaft, stack effect, and assembly uses were among the key fire safety code challenges. Armin proposed alternative options to the design team to address the challenges, including either additional fire separations or additional smoke control fans. The challenges require significant discussions with the authorities having jurisdiction and finalizing decisions in written, countersigned reports. UCLA Seismic Retrofit Program Study: Wheeler Hall, Royce Hall, Men’s Gym, Clark Library Project code consultant for the concept and programmatic stage of a proposed seismic retrofit effort of a number of UCLA buildings. Armin’s role was to survey the buildings’ fire safety systems for compliance with California Building and Fire Codes and prepare a report tailored to each building on the regulatory impact of the retrofit work to each structure. Among the elements studies were egress, fire separations, fire alarm and fire sprinkler systems.

U.C. Berkeley Art Museum Armin was director of the fire safety design of the proposed joint venture Toyo Ito /EHDD Architects design of the new U.C. Berkeley Art Museum. He provided fire life safety code consulting services addressing a number of factors including exiting, construction type and fire separations. Among the key issues, the early Toyo Ito design included a unique bearing wall condition, which required special fire analysis and approval from the officials. Although intial approvals were obtained from the fire officials, the project was stopped in Construction Documents phase due to unrelated cost issues. U.C. Berkeley Haas Pavilion: Expansion The Haas Pavilion was developed from the existing gymnasium building in order to add substantially more seating to an existing stadium for the purposes of obtaining television coverage. As project engineer during the design, Armin provided guidance to Ellerbe Becket Architects in developing code conforming seating, aisle and egress plans. Armin also assisted in designing the Pavilion’s new smoke protected assembly seating smoke exhaust system. The system allowed for maximizing the efficiency of the seating bowl, which was key to the expansion. U.C. Berkeley Martin Luther King Junior Student Union/Eshleman Hall Fire Sprinkler and Fire Alarm Retrofit Armin was project engineer/owner’s representative during the construction phase of the retrofitting of a sprinkler system and fire alarm system in this existing, significant, multi-story, mixed use, campus building. The project required ongoing student union operations, including the Pauley Ballroom. The project also included the retrofitting of a nearby seven-story building (Eshleman Hall) with the same systems, however this latter building was recently demolished. San Jose State Student Union Expansion/Atrium Reax provided assistance in the development of an atrium smoke control system during the renovation of a major building on campus. The renovation included the introduction of a new atrium, which required smoke control. Reax supplied the necessary expertise and analysis in providing the appropriate smoke exhaust and make up air supply for safe design. Armin was involved in peer review of the project and negotiations with the State Fire Marshal on related issues.
