Have you been wondering, "What is that thing perched over on the 101 Freeway at Grand Avenue?" That's the theater building of new Central Los Angeles High School for the Visual and Performing Arts, also known as High School #9.
The high school has state-of-the-art facilities dedicated to the visual arts, music, dance and theater - each containing both academic classrooms as well as specialized teaching, exhibit and performance rooms.
The school district commissioned the world-renowned architect firm of Coop Himmelb(l)au, to design the school. Coop Himmelb(l)au is headquartered in Austria and is known for their futuristic designs.
It will be the beacon of Grand Avenue, the heart of LA's performing arts community. With neighbors like the Los Angeles Music Center, the Colburn School of Performing Arts, Walt Disney Concert Hall, and The Museum of Contemporary Art, students will have access to the city's finest arts institutions.
The school district is trying to take advantage of the schools proximity to the nearby performing arts venues. "We are looking forward to developing relationships with Los Angeles' established arts community where we have dialogue between the school's students and the professional artists," says LAUSD representative, Daynard Ellis.
The student body will be grouped into small learning communities of 500, to create a greater sense of community for the students. They will stay within these small learning communities from the time they enter the school until the time they graduate.
Construction on the high school is expected to be completed in the October of 2008 with classes to begin in the Fall of 2009. It will provide an inspiring learning environment for more than 1,700 students, and will relieve the over-crowded Belmont High School.
The LAUSD's new high school for the arts is an example of the city's many projects that continue to transform Downtown L.A. into a more livable community for all generations to come.
