OneLegacy is a nonprofit organization dedicated to saving and healing lives through organ, eye and tissue donation throughout seven counties in Southern California. The OneLegacy Campus project in Azusa included complete renovation of an existing 98,000 square foot building and a building addition of about 127,000 square feet which includes a 250 stall parking structure.
Originally built by Aerojet in 1985, the repurposing and expansion of the 98,000 square foot structure into a modern, well-lit and healthy workplace is host to a complex program that encompasses three distinguishable areas: the public area with an 8,000 square foot convention center, a memorial garden and amphitheater and a cafeteria; the office area including 75,000 square foot of office space home to OneLegacy headquarters, OneLegacy Foundation and the Board of Directors; and the clinical area expanding over 37,000 square feet in the first floor.
The OneLegacy Transplant and Recovery Facility building is organized over a main circulation spine that pierces the building from West to East and from the bottom to the top floor by taking advantage of the three atria in the existing building to provide a 360° experience as the user walks through the building, starting on the West end at the three-story reception area, then through the main 120-feet-long atrium which serves as access to the office use in the upper floors and on the East to the public area starting at the cafeteria. The OneLegacy project is one of the largest and most sophisticated transplant recovery centers in the country. At a functional level, this project has drastically improved the ability to serve the surrounding community of nearly 20 million people by enabling more efficient client and more effective organ transplantation with state of the art technology and infrastructure. Aesthetically, this project is the crown jewel for the City of Azusa representing not only the most modern and beautiful structures in the city, but also a functional space dedicated to serving the community. OneLegacy will be partnering with the City of Azusa to host community events and activities at its Memorial Garden and Conferencing Center.
