Client + Budget

LACCD - Los Angeles Mission College
$42 million

 

As is the case with most LACCD projects, this building will be LEED™ certified and will incorporate a significant number of sustainable design features, such as a roof-top herb garden that will be harvested for use by the culinary program, while also insulating the roof to reduce energy costs and increasing the life of the roof.  This state-of-the-art facility will house the renowned culinary arts program at Los Angeles Mission College. In addition to teaching labs and classrooms, this project will also include the campus dining facilities, to maximize the practical applications of the educational programs.  Demonstration kitchens adjacent to public areas will provide a window into the world of culinary arts and weave the program into the daily lives of the campus community. Given the stature of the program, this building is prominently located and serves as a campus focal point with outdoor dining engaging the main campus quad.
