KTGY Architecture + Planning currently processes and manages all zoning and entitlement services for Chapman University’s Rinker Health Science Campus. Initiated in 2012, Chapman University acquired two properties, each consisting of a two-story office building, with the desire to establish Orange County’s first graduate School of Pharmacy. In conjunction with multiple consultants, KTGY’s planners led the project team and obtained the city’s approval for the use and alterations unique to the campus, including a comprehensive sign program meeting Chapman’s donor program needs while fitting into the surrounding Irvine Spectrum context. KTGY also worked with the city to secure approval for reduced parking stall sizes to avoid a complete redesign of the parking lot. KTGY also assisted with grading and parking lot permit processing to ensure the project opened on schedule.
