LA tech college uses BIM to update campus look

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.
