TEC was the General Contractor (17406 Design-Build-Finance) on this project.
Located within the Los Angeles Unified School District at Vermont and 47th Street, Manual Arts Primary Center #2, is the new home for more than 300 elementary school children and staff.
Situated on a 1.67-acre site, the facility features:
Two-story 16-classroom complex with elevator
Library center with computer workstations
Administration offices complete with Nurses Station
Full kitchen with separate Teacher’s Lounge
Outside lunch area with covered canopy
Multipurpose auditorium, seating up to 380
Underground parking garage - underneath the playground area
This facility is concrete slab & wood frame construction. Interior walls are taped, textured, and painted drywall. The roof-mounted HVAC units cool the building, and the building is sprinklered for fire protection. We used parapet walls to hide the rooftop units and give the exterior a uniform appeal. Finally, an acrylic stucco finish covers the exterior for a long-lasting protection against harsh environmental conditions. This facility will be the educational home for many children to come.
