Pacific Building Group Completes Office, Lab Improvements for General Atomics

General contracting firm Pacific Building Group has completed major tenant improvements on a 273,436 square-foot office and lab for General Atomics. Located in Rancho Bernardo, the updated building boasts interior and exterior improvements, from data and storage improvements to new secured entryways.

A San Diego-based defense contractor specializing in advanced electromagnetic and electric power generation technologies, as well as unmanned aerial vehicles and radar solutions, General Atomics sought an office with improved connectivity and communication. Pacific Building Group completed extensive data and audio-visual improvements. Other improvements included a complete building upgrade using new flooring, millwork, paint and other first-class finishes, all done by Pacific Building Group.

Pacific Building Group also installed new security entrances site wide and completed a 2,000 square-foot concrete storage locker.

General Atomics’ offices remained operational while construction was underway.

“We were challenged with meeting aggressive time schedules to help General Atomics successfully transition more than 1,000 employees into the improved office and lab space,” says Frank Torres, associate project manager at Pacific Building Group. “As demonstrated with General Atomics, it is our priority to maintain a secure and operational work environment for our clients, while delivering a high caliber project that exceeds the client’s building needs.”

Pacific Building Group team members who completed the project include Torres, Senior Project Manager Mike Slaven, Superintendent Mike Smith, Superintendent Jim Entwisle and Project Coordinator Cindy Jones.

Carrier Johnson served as the architect on the project.
