UCI Humanities Building

Working with Hensel Phelps Construction Co., Marina Design Group and Marina Construction are part of the design build team for the new UCI Humanities building located on the Irvine campus. The design team has designed the planting to interface with the existing plant palette of the UCI campus, using low maintenance planting as well as allowing accent planting at key interface points to the building. The rear and sides of the building have a variety of California native plants that identify the edges of the rear plaza, as well as guiding students down the walkway to the rear classrooms. Marina Design Group has utilized natives that are appropriate for each particular landscape condition, for a reduction in the amount of water usage and maintenance.
