Sylvan Park Early Education Center Outdoor Classroom and Campus Upgrade

The Project provides an outdoor classroom by dividing the existing playground area into distinct activity areas with paving, new playground matting and equipment, and landscaping. The Project will also provide new heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) units, roofing, exterior painting of the Children’s Center and Modular Classroom Buildings, and necessary upgrades to the fire alarm system and utilities. The scope of work includes Americans with Disabilities Act accessibility upgrades, including accessible path of travel; parking area; doors and signage; restrooms; and a drinking water station (Figure 1). The Board of Education approved of the Project’s budget of $6,101,559 on May 7, 2024. The Project will be implemented per all applicable State, federal, and local regulations, as well as all District Standards and Specifications; such as those provided in 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 Sylvan Park Early Education Center (Sylvan Park EEC) 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).
