LAUSD High School #10

In an effort to relieve high school overcrowding, the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) is constructing a new 231,000-square-foot educational complex west of downtown L.A. The complex will consist of seven buildings around a landscaped central courtyard, creating an "urban village" of education.

The design places a special emphasis on sports facilities, including two large gymnasiums, tennis and basketball courts, an Olympic size swimming pool, and a full-feature stadium for football, soccer and track, as well as baseball and softball fields.

The Mollenhauer Group is providing all of the construction surveying for this $85 million project. The architect is Johnson Fain of Los Angeles, with Clark Construction of Costa Mesa acting as the general contractor.

Los Angeles Community College District

Mollenhauer's Spatial Geomatics division provided vital as-built data essential to this massive adaptive reuse program. Very little data existed to facilitate analysis of the current condition of buildings and their setting on the campus.

In a time measured in days rather than weeks, Spatial Geomatics carried out site surveys of the complex campus structure using high-definition laser scanners, collecting and storing the complicated spatial information of the existing buildings.

This survey scan data has been used by students at the E7 Architectural Studio to generate the project's design and construction tools – 2D architectural base data and 3D rendered CAD models. This data is also being used to build the next generation of 3D Building Information Management Systems (BIMs) to store and manage information more effectively and enable long-term facilities lifecycle management.
