About SmithGroup
SmithGroup takes a research-based and data-driven approach to design that champions sustainability and community. Its core competencies encompass architecture, engineering, landscape architecture, urban design, and environmental science. The firm has built a clientele of global leaders in the workplace, health, higher education, science, and technology sectors. Bonnie Khang-Keating is the Vice President of SmithGroup. She is an active member of the Design-Build Institute of America (DBIA) and serves as a design commissioner for the city of Pasadena and a cultural heritage commissioner for the city of Los Angeles. She is on the City of Pasadena Mayor’s Planning Advisory Committee as well. Drawing on her 25 years of experience, Bonnie steers SmithGroup in coming up with design solutions that have earned awards from the AIA, the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air Conditioning Engineers, and the American Planning Association. Bonnie has also guided SmithGroup in developing work environments such as Arup’s downtown LA headquarters. Organized around a central open staircase, the three-story workplace promotes creativity, inclusivity, and wellness. The main arrival area is on the middle level, home to the main conferencing center, technical BIM rooms for collaboration and modeling, and the acoustically isolated SoundLab/ExperienceLab. Huddle rooms and niche work areas occupy the center of the floor plate near the stairs, which provides informal seating and encourages spontaneous interaction. A comprehensive maker space and library occupy much of the lower level; the top level is devoted to a large and lively café area.Services
