Building Tours
Sunday, October 20
Sunday, October 20 | 7:30 am–Noon
Building Tour #1 – Long Beach City Hall & Port of Long Beach Administration Building & The Queen Mary (Half Day – AM | 0.4 CEUs)
Long Beach City Hall & Port of Long Beach Administration Building
These two LEED Gold-certified were designed to prioritize environmental performance. They feature energy efficient, under-floor air conditioning systems that eliminate the need for air ducts and mechanical equipment in the ceiling, which allows for higher finished ceiling heights and increased natural light. The exterior curtain walls are composed of alternating panels of floor-to-ceiling vision glass and solid panels. The height of the vision panels allows daylight to penetrate into the depth of the floors. Solid panels limit solar heat gain. Balconies are located on the top floor of both buildings. City Hall’s solid exterior wall portions are expressed as white metal panels, while the Port Headquarters buildings are recessed color strips behind vision glass, designed to echo the color variations found in shipping containers at the nearby Long Beach Port. While touring both buildings, our expert will talk about the City’s Building and Safety Bureau’s and Harbor Department’s role in construction and permitting activity.
Queen Mary
The retired ocean liner sailed primarily on the North Atlantic Ocean from 1936 to 1967 for the Cunard Line. The ship's groundbreaking construction made it the most luxurious and technologically advanced ocean liner of its time. While exploring the ship from bow to stern, and inside to out, we will discuss how the City treats this ship as a building/structure for the purpose of permitting and construction activity. Our expert guide will talk about the various projects to restore, rehabilitate, and improve ADA-related compliance measures and the application of historic preservation standards.

30 Years of Excellence: A Reflection on the Establishment of the International Code Council and Creation of an International Suite of Model Codes
The International Code Council was established 30 years ago in 1994, with the goal of developing a single set of national model construction codes. It brought together three different organizations that had developed three separate sets of model codes throughout the U.S.: Building Officials and Code Administrators International, Inc. (BOCA), International Conference of Building Officials (ICBO), and Southern Building Code Congress International, Inc. (SBCCI). Today the International Code Council and the International Codes (I-Codes) are world renowned. Learn about this illustrious history from some of those who know the Code Council best – its Past Presiding Officers.

Washington, D.C.– The International Code Council and the Center for Offsite Construction (CfOC) at the New York Institute of Technology (NYIT) announced their collaboration to develop critical standards for modular construction through the creation of the “CFOC/ICC 1220 Standard on Configurations and Connections for Off-Site Construction.” This groundbreaking effort aims to enhance quality, sustainability, resilience and affordability in the construction industry by establishing clear guidelines for the connection and configuration of modular components.
The standard will address requirements for configuration and connections in off-site construction, including the location and specifications of module-to-module and building-to-module connections for essential building systems, the standardization of dimensions for modular components and coverage for componentized, panelized and modularized elements. This effort is expected to significantly advance the use of modular construction methods by providing a framework for ensuring consistent quality and compatibility across projects.
“The Code Council is pleased to partner with the Center for Offsite Construction to create a standard that helps address some of the key challenges in advancing the deployment of off-site construction including supporting a project pipeline for factories, bringing certainty to developers through the availability of multiple sources for components and increasing efficiency of the fabrication and approval processes,” said Ryan Colker, Executive Director, Energy, Resilience & Innovation for the Code Council.
“We are excited to collaborate with the Code Council on developing a standard that will transform how modular components are designed and connected,” said Jason Van Nest, Director of the CfOC at NYIT. “This partnership will support the growth of industrialized construction methods and ensure that off-site construction systems meet the highest standards of performance and interoperability.”
By promoting compatibility and interoperability, the new standard is expected to accelerate the adoption of off-site construction practices in various applications, including multifamily housing, commercial developments, and institutional projects.
Once published, the standard will be available on the Code Council’s Digital Codes platform.
For more information about the development of the CFOC/ICC 1220 Standard and how to participate in the standards development process, please visit the CFOC/ICC 1220 Standard webpage.
