Case Study: Google achieves on-time occupancy and dynamic office space with Southland Industries retrofit solutions

Google secures certificate of occupancy on time with Southland Industries

Google required a complex retrofit to create dynamic office spaces within the historic Spruce Goose airplane hangar in Los Angeles. The challenge involved constructing a multi-story building within the existing hangar structure, demanding sophisticated systems to be delivered on schedule. Southland Industries was engaged to provide key mechanical and control solutions.

Southland implemented a building automation system, an integrated smoke control system, and commissioning controls, advising on effective technology alternatives like Delta Controls. This solution-focused approach ensured the fully functional system was completed on time, enabling Google to receive its certificate of occupancy as planned. The project success led Southland to secure ongoing service agreements and be awarded the subsequent phase of construction for the campus soundstage and YouTube studio.
