Central Regional High School No. 16

Central Regional High School No. 16

The proposed project entails the construction of a new high school for grades 9 through 12 on a 13.4 acre site in the City of Los Angeles. By providing approximately 2,025 two-semester seats, the proposed project would relieve overcrowding at Manual Arts High School and South Los Angeles Area New High School No. 1. This new school would require approximately 180 full-and part-time faculty and staff, and would accommodate a traditional high school, a summer school, an adult school, after-school programs and extra curricular activities for students, and community uses, when it is not scheduled for school- or district-related events. The proposed new school would provide approximately 200,000 sq. ft. of new building development, including 75 classrooms, a library/media center, a multi-purpose room, gymnasium, performing arts area, administrative offices, and a food service area. The school would be divided along Avalon Boulevard and East 52nd Street, and would include a football stadium track field facilities with bleachers. Nighttime field lighting would be provided for evening sporting events. Additional play courts would be provided on the second floor of the parking garage, located at the southeast corner of East 52nd Street and Towne Avenue. This garage, with approximately 188 parking spaces, would provide parking for faculty and staff. On-street parking is proposed to accommodate visitors and students. The project would include improved sidewalks along the perimeter of the site, landscaping, and site fencing. A portion of East 53rd Street, an east-well alley, and a north-south alley would be vacated as part of the proposed project. The proposed project site is occupied by an existing LAUSD school campus, Johnson Opportunity High School; approximately 152 single- and multi-family residential units; commercial businesses, including a swap meet; a butcher shop; and an automobile sales and/or repair business. Development of the site would require the acquisition of 28 parcels and demolition of all existing buildings. The approximately 140 students attending Johnson Opportunity High School would be absorbed by other schools.
