NYA provided structural engineering for LAUSD South Region’s, bright and colorful Elementary School #2. The school’s main building sits back off the street with “urban walls” lining the streets which provide both safety for students and create shielded environments for indoor and outdoor teaching environments.

The school houses approximately 1,050 students in 42 classrooms. It contains a library, multi-purpose rooms, food service area and lunch shelter, administrative offices, playfields and underground parking. The project consists of a three-story classroom building and a one-story multi-purpose building over a one-level subterranean parking garage with a total area of approximately 113,000 square feet.

The classroom and multi-purpose buildings are constructed of steel framing with Special Concentric Braced Frames. The parking structure roof is of two-way concrete slab construction supported by concrete interior columns and perimeter masonry basement walls. Foundations consist of concrete spread footings
