RESPONSIBILITY: Urban Design, Planning

BPI was the lead firm in assisting East Los Angeles College to prepare a master plan for a satellite campus on a 32-acre site in the City of South Gate. BPI’s responsibilities included a contextual analysis of the proposed site as well as an educational, and space needs analysis of campus facilities with a projected student enrollment of 12,000 students. The contextual analysis documented the site’s regional and community characteristics, and detail analysis of land use, building conditions, problems and opportunities of the specific site and its immediate environment.

The space needs analysis determined the square footage program recommendations for future academic, support and administrative services, facilities and parking requirements. Both components were subsequently used by other consultants to develop a campus site plan and to prepare an environmental impact report.
