ABOUT THE TRITON PAVILION PROJECT PROCESS

Progressive Design Build

Triton Pavilion is being developed with LMN Architects and PCL Construction under a Progressive Design Build process (PDB). The PDB process uses a qualifications-based or best value selection, followed by a process whereby the owner then “progresses” towards a design and contract price with the team (thus the term “Progressive”). This process offers better collaboration between UC San Diego and the design and construction teams.

Programming & Change Management

The programming process for the Triton Pavilion project has evolved since the project's inception. 

Initially, a firm was hired to develop the 80% Detailed Project Program (DPP). At that time, the project team embarked on a program verification stage coupled with change management, to ensure Triton Pavilion would be designed to serve the needs of its many and varied users. The program verification and change management stage has entailed many exploratory activities:

• Tours of existing workspaces to understand needs and challenges

• Current workplace survey on existing workspaces

• Tours of aspirational workplaces

• Identification of and engagement with Change Champions
