Madison Middle School Classroom Replacement

Relocatable classroom replacement projects will reduce Los Angeles Unified School District’s (LAUSD or District) reliance on relocatable buildings, restore play space, increase green schoolyards, eliminate health and safety concerns, and/or reduce Maintenance and Operations costs. Madison MS was prioritized due to the site wide reliance on relocatable classroom buildings. The Project will remove aging relocatable buildings at Madison MS, which includes 17 relocatable buildings, 14 of which are not certified by the Division of State Architect (DSA), containing 28 classrooms and support spaces. To replace them, the Project will construct a new one-story permanent classroom building containing 9 classrooms and support and administrative spaces. Site improvements include a new outdoor student gathering courtyard; new parking; utility upgrades; new playground areas; reconfiguration of physical education courts; landscaping; hardscaping; fencing and gates; security enhancements; accessibility upgrades; exterior painting of existing buildings and structures; and interim facilities necessary to support school programs during construction (Figure 1). The Los Angeles Unified School District Board of Education approved the Project's budget of $60,750,961 on March 12, 2024. The Project will be implemented pursuant to all applicable State, federal, and local regulations, and all applicable LAUSD specifications, standards, and/or guidelines, including those in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the updated Standard Conditions of Approval for District Construction, Upgrade, and Improvements Projects (SCs) as adopted by the Board of Education in December 2023. LAUSD’s SCs, design guidelines, and best management practices are designed to be incorporated into the Project design in order to avoid or limit potential adverse impacts associated with the District’s projects. The beneficiaries of this Project are the Madison MS students, faculty, staff, families, school supporters, and the community at large who may request access to the facilities and grounds of the Campus pursuant to the Civic Center Act (CA Ed. Code Sections 38130 - 38139).
