Gindi Maimonides Academy Campus Improvements Project

The Gindi Maimonides Academy Campus Improvements Project is a redevelopment initiative located in West Hollywood, California, managed by the City of West Hollywood Community Development Department. The project involves the demolition of 16,000 square feet of existing buildings and 45,000 square feet of surface parking and outdoor recreational areas on a 1.25-acre site. In their place, the project will construct a three-story, 41,000-square foot educational building and a two-story, 12,000-square foot indoor gymnasium. Both structures will be built over single-level subterranean parking garages providing approximately 88 spaces. The new educational facility will house classrooms, a cafeteria, administrative offices, and specialized spaces for daycare, nursery, and pre-nursery programming. This expansion will increase the school's enrollment capacity by 146 students, bringing the total to 466. The project is governed by the Gindi Maimonides Academy Specific Plan and requires compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act, including the preparation of an Environmental Impact Report to address potential impacts on air quality, traffic, noise, and cultural resources. Administrative oversight is led by Associate Planner Roger Rath, and the project may require additional licensing from the California Department of Social Services for its childcare components. Public review and scoping for the environmental impact occurred between August 13 and September 14, 2026.
