Los Angeles Unified School District
Joint-Use Health Centers
Henrikson Owen is teamed with Randall Baylon architects to provide MEP engineering design services for Joint Use Health Centers located on District campuses. LAUSD selected multiple teams to provide A/E services for approximately 13 Health Centers with the average anticipated program cost for each of $1.2 to $2 Million.

The Joint Use Health Centers will provide a school based clinic that will provide health services to students from that school, neighboring schools and the surrounding community in which the Joint Use Health Center is located. In Addition to providing free or reduced health services the Joint Use Health Center will assist eligible participants with insurance enrollment and case management.

The Joint Use Health Centers projects will consist of site improvement and tenant improvement of existing bungalows or re-locatable structures. The design and construction will conform to Federal, State, and local building codes and standards, including DSA, OSHPD, the CCR, Americans with Disabilities Act, and LAUSD requirements.

The North Main Corona Parking Structure consisted of six levels of reinforced concrete and post-tension concrete slabs housing 1,065 parking spaces. With Stantec as the architect, and McCarthy Building Companies as the General Contractor, this project was completed within the $25 million budget, and improved the construction schedule with an on-time delivery for use by the current Metrolink ridership. The Perris Multi-Modal Facility consisted of a surface parking lot with landscaping improvements, shelter structures, a state-of-the-art security system, and a railway platform for the future Perris Valley Line (PVL) which Metrolink service is anticipated to commence in 2012. The Perris Multi-Modal Facility was completed in early January 2010, and is being operated as a bus transit station by the Riverside Transit Agency (RTA). The projected costs for this Facility are approximately $5 million.

BFL Owen won the Public Sector Merit award for over $15M from The Design-Build Institute of America (DBIA) for the new Bren Hall (Computer Sciences #3) at UC Irvine. Hensel Phelps was the General Contractor and Carrier Johnson was the Architect.
