AMN Healthcare has led the way in providing staffing solutions to healthcare facilities across the United States since 1985. Based in San Diego with offices in Denver, Colorado, Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, Savannah, Georgia, and Charlotte, North Carolina. The total square footage of AMN Healthcare?s new space takes up five floors, 168,000 square feet of the six-story 216,000 square foot building, which includes many unique features. An exterior glass curtainwall extends from the ground to above the roofline, with the first two floors of the glass wall enclosing the main lobby. This is a specially constructed all-glass 'Structural Glass System'.

The ground floor boasts a full weight-training/exercise room with state of the art audio/visual & exercise equipment.û There is also a fully serviced cafeteria, with a working kitchen and indoor/outdoor seating available.û Several plush conference rooms are available with a stunning main executive conference room and a 140 person auditorium, complete with a stage and theater type seats on a backward sloping floor. The auditorium is available for large group presentations and entertainment.û The parking garage is constructed of pre-cast members with cast-in-place topping slabs and shear walls.û It has four levels and a hydraulic elevator servicing it.

The entire project was completed in a record-breaking twelve months, from receipt of shell 'For Construction' drawings to the required move-in.û Intense coordination between Reno and all the major subcontractors was critical to maintaining the budget and schedule.û We are extremely proud to be recognized by the construction industry again for our quality, reliability and expertise.û The Associated Building Contractors 'Build America' award was given to Reno Contracting for this outstanding project.

T. I COMPLETE FOR SAN DIEGO COUNTY CREDIT UNION
The 3-story shell building which houses the new San Diego County Credit Union offices, located off Mira Mesa Blvd, was originally designed by Pacific Cornerstone Architects and built by Reno Contracting. The building sat vacant until San Diego County Credit Union acquired the property and hired Carrier Johnson and Reno Contracting to design and build their nautically inspired headquarters.

The new offices include a 2,000 square foot data center, specialty training rooms, executive offices, boardroom and lobby including custom high end finishes. Construction was sequenced to the tee with trades starting on the third floor moving in a counter clockwise rotation. The executive offices have marble floors, fabric wall coverings and beautiful custom millwork throughout. The long corridors on every floor taper in and out to simulate the bow and stern of a large sail boat, mock life boats, steel and fabric structures, are hung from the ceilings to further add to the nautical theme. The color schemes on the wall reflect the land ahead of the ship and the wake behind.

In addition to the exercise area, locker rooms and indoor basketball court with NBA certified court flooring, the Credit Union insisted on the finest boardroom and lobby facilities. Walking into the lobby surrounded by dark wood paneling and marble is a 38? tall mast and sail. Once past the lobby, guests and employees may be directed to the training rooms for information sessions, one of many break-rooms or the fully automated boardroom with an ash wood and glass conference table that accommodates 36 people. Participants of meetings in this room can enjoy a 108? projection screen A/V tool, or if sitting in the back one of four 52? plasma screens.

RENO COMPLETES NEW FAIR ISAAC OFFICES
The Fair Isaac offices relocated from their existing four building facilities into one five-story building located in the Kilroy Centre Del Mar Campus. The facility houses primarily administrative and engineering staff. In an extremely accelerated schedule, Reno Contracting successfully constructed a full service kitchen, patio area, server room and remodeled the rest of the five floors of systems furniture relocation, workout facility and high-end lobby finishes within 130,000 sf. The project architect was Carrier Johnson.

Founded in 1956 with corporate offices located in San Rafael, California, Fair Isaac helps thousands of companies in over 60 countries acquire customers more efficiently, increase customer value, reduce fraud and credit losses, lower operating expenses and enter new markets more profitably through a combination of rigorous analytics, high-volume data processing and intelligent software.

"The responsiveness of the project team on our Fair Isaac job was second to none. It was a pleasure working with an organization that listened and then acted appropriately and quickly. Thank you Reno for a job well done."

USA FEDERAL CREDIT UNION — HEADQUARTERS COMPLETE AND READY FOR MOVE-IN
This 36,000 sq. ft. tenant improvement was constructed in a building built in 1984, which had never had any previous improvements. The aggressive schedule had to be kept, as the tenant had sold their current building and the move date was not negotiable.

Total build-out for the new office facilities amounted to $1,000,000. The Architect for the headquarters project was Robbins Jorgensen Christopher. Special consideration was made to blend the new finishes to the existing finishes from the 1984 build-out. Revisions also had to be made to the elevator controls, interior stair rails and exterior handicap accessibility to meet current ADA guidelines.

Along with budget constraints, the driving imperative was to relocate and move the headquarters staff in on time. This also required working closely with the tenants? vendors for the security, UPS, emergency generator and fire alarm systems.
