strategies. OUSD leaders agreed with the approach as consistent with the intent of the project goals.

The rest of the discussion of this Case Study No. 13 will then refer to the collection of program spaces known as the “ZNE Group” as shown in the plan diagrams of the previous page. The total gross floor area of Phase 1 is 71,568 sq. ft. while the gross floor area of the “ZNE Group” 58,498 sq. ft., or 82% of Phase 1. Phase 2 has a total gross floor area of 46,934 sq. ft., so the “ZNE Group” is 49% of the total project area (or roughly half of the project space).
