Westwood shade expertise
Shade for Westwood's Campus and Commercial Core
Westwood includes the UCLA campus, medical facilities, Westwood Village, professional offices, restaurants, retail, high-density housing, schools, and residential streets. Projects can serve large daily populations and often need careful coordination with accessibility, security, building management, and active pedestrian routes.
We design from the actual site. The building facade, attachment points, signs, doors, circulation, outdoor use, material requirements, and permitted installation area all influence the right system.

Clear, Durable Coverage for Busy Properties
Medical and institutional entrances need weather protection without compromising accessible paths, patient movement, wayfinding, or drop-off activity. Campus walkways and gathering areas may require broader systems designed for heavy daily use.
In Westwood Village, restaurant and retail awnings need to fit tenant frontage, signs, windows, outdoor seating, and the pedestrian environment. Multifamily properties may focus on common entries, courtyards, or resident amenities.
Westwood includes multiple Specific Plans and design-review tools. The exact property and proposed work should be checked before fabrication.
