PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Siteline supported the redevelopment of Kresge College, an academic community along a ridge in a redwood forest on the UCSC Campus, through the use of laser scanning and aerial drone capture. Before schematic design began, Siteline laser scanned the existing college to document the existing topography, trees, and buildings. The resulting point cloud and imagery helped the design team determine the precise location of every tree, enabling them to tailor their design around all of the protected trees. The point cloud was also used to generate a topographic surface which helped the team determine future building grades, coordinate site utilities, and plan complex site logistics. For the buildings that were to remain, Siteline laser scanned their crawlspaces to document the existing structure and utilities to help plan their future remodels.
