The $350 million Long Beach Civic Center is a state-of-the-art facility that provides the City and Port of Long Beach, California, with performance-based infrastructure commensurate with its size and status as a world-class shipping and logistics hub. The City wanted a revitalized civic core that was environmentally sustainable and resilient. The project was developed under a public-private partnership (PPP) with developer Plenary-Edgemoor Civic Partners and general contractor Clark Construction. The design was led by Skidmore, Owings, and Merrill (SOM) as the architect, and structural engineering was shared by Nabih Youssef Associates Structural Engineers (NYASE) and SOM.
