Canoga Avenue/De Soto Avenue facilities, Canoga Park, CA

Client: Rocketdyne (now Aerojet Rocketdyne)

TWG has been a consulting architectural firm for the western San Fernando Valley facilities of Rocketdyne for nearly 30 years as well as a provider of facilities design for its former cousin, the Rockwell Science Center (now Teledyne Scientific & Imaging). Perhaps best known as maker of the SSME (Space Shuttle Main Engine), the Rocketdyne division also is responsible for launching NASA’s Apollo program into space with its F-1 rocket engine. (An updated version of the F-1 currently is in development for deep-space exploration.) Industrial engineering, landscape design and space planning (solely terrestrial) are all part of the services we provide for Aerojet Rocketdyne, including facility-planning support on an out-source basis. TWG is part of the site’s Emergency Response Team in case of a natural disaster.
