Aspen Hall (66,000 sf) and Juniper Hall (56,000 sf) are the latest additions to Los Angeles Trade Technical College, providing new classrooms, lecture halls, and offices. The $80 million side-by-side buildings, designed by MDA Johnson Favaro, contrast with many of the campus's generations-old structures. Built and designed with BIM technology, the five-story buildings form waving bands of curved steel with a three-story-high ornamental column attached to a glass curtain wall. Target: LEED Silver.
