Noble Elementary School Playground and Campus Exterior Upgrades

The Project will replace or repair approximately 165,000 square feet of paved surfaces in the main playground, the kindergarten playground, and select circulation areas with new paving with solar reflective coating. The scope of work includes an outdoor learning environment, greening and landscaping upgrades throughout the Campus, along with privacy fencing and exterior painting of buildings where needed. Additionally, the Project will provide infrastructure upgrades including site drainage, underground utilities, a new trash enclosure, and accessibility upgrades (Figure 1). The Los Angeles Unified School District Board of Education approved the Project's budget of $8,782,685 on August 22, 2023. 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 the Project include Noble ES students, faculty, staff, families, school supporters, and the community at large who may request access to the playground pursuant to the Civic Center Act (CA Ed. Code Sections 38130 - 38139).
