32nd St./USC Magnet School Major Modernization

The 32nd St./USC Magnet School Major Modernization project, managed by the Los Angeles Unified School District Office of Environmental Health and Safety, involves the comprehensive modernization and enhancement of the campus located at 822 W 32nd Street, Los Angeles, California. The project is structured in two phases, beginning with the temporary relocation of the school to the former DBM campus. The primary scope of work includes the construction of approximately 23 general and specialty classrooms and support spaces, the demolition of 23 classrooms and restrooms across 13 relocatable buildings and one storage building, and minor modernization of the administration building, single-story and two-story classroom buildings, and the lunch shelter. Improvements include accessibility and utility infrastructure upgrades for water, sanitary sewer, storm water, and electrical systems, as well as exterior painting and the development of outdoor learning environments through greening landscape and hardscape enhancements. The project is subject to strict compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Division of the State Architect, the California Environmental Quality Act, and the Department of Toxic Substances Control. Environmental assessments have been conducted, including air quality, greenhouse gas emissions, noise impact, and pedestrian safety studies, with a specific prohibition on the use or installation of lead-containing paint or asbestos-containing materials. Administrative details identify the project under Cost Center F312124-03-404-99 and Colin Project number 10372107. Public review for the environmental documentation was scheduled from January 15 to February 17, 2026, with a virtual public meeting held on February 5, 2025.
