NYA provided Structural Engineering Services to LACCD for the new East Los Angeles College Performing and Fine Arts Complex. The project was a Design Bid Build, consisting of three buildings and covering 160,000 sf. Some of the unique features of the complex are the two-story theatre space, and the complex sloping roof geometry.

The use of materials such as a cool roof, recycled steel, rebar, recycled insulation, louvers and fly ash concrete reflected the LACCD's commitment to sustainability, as did the recycling of 80% of demolition and construction debris. Project collaboration was an important aspect of this project – there was extensive coordination between the architect and engineering team to achieve a desired look for the curtain wall and roof layouts.
