SBS Corporation was awarded the contract to build the new visitor's center located  at the McCrea Ranch in Thousand Oaks.  
The historic McCrea Ranch is located just north of the Conejo Valley and was purchased in 1933 by legendary film actor and western movie star Joel McCrea who continued the long tradition of ranching and dry land farming. Joel and his wife, movie star Frances Dee, raised their three sons on the ranch. In 1995 the McCrea family donated 225 acres of the Ranch, including the family home, to the Conejo Recreation and Park District.

RRM designed the 1,400 sf Visitors Center, which includes a lobby, exhibit/ display area, meeting room, restrooms, and large deck. The Visitors Center will also offer a variety of interpretive, educational and programming opportunities as well as sustainable features such as solar panels.

SBS Corporation was awarded the contract to complete the city of Simi Valley’s first LEED-certified green project: the upgrade and modernization of the city’s Transit Maintenance Facility.

The project will include a renovation of the facility to meet the United States Green Building Council’s LEED — Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design.

The groundbreaking ceremony took place on June 22, 2010 and was attended by Simi Valley Mayor Paul Miler and a number of local officials.
When completed in about a year, the maintenance facility will feature energy efficient building systems, a low water-use landscape design and will incorporate recycled and renewable materials.

The $2.4 million maintenance facility upgrade is fully funded by Federal Transit Administration and American Reinvestment and Recovery Act funds.
Other officials who attended the ground-breaking included Moorpark Mayor Janice Parvin, VCTC Executive Director Darren Kettle, Simi Valley City Council members Michelle Foster and Steve Sojka, Simi Valley City Manager Mike Sedell and Moorpark City Council members Roseann Mikos and David Pollock.

Representing SBS will be RJ Stump serving as project manager and John Hanna as superintendent.
