Garfield High School Major Modernization
Garfield High School is a landmark campus—but its aging infrastructure no longer meets the needs of modern learning. With a $250M modernization program underway, LAUSD faced a complex balancing act:
How do you rebuild a high school from the inside out—without disrupting learning or losing community trust?
RED BRICK was brought in to support exactly that challenge.
What RED BRICK is Delivering
This isn’t just a new classroom building. It’s a transformation of how education is delivered on campus—for generations to come.
RED BRICK is providing program support for:
- Construction of a 4-story academic building with science labs, a full library, and admin space
- Demolition of outdated structures including the parking garage and classroom buildings 100 & 200
- Phased sitewide improvements to green space, accessibility, utilities, and aesthetics
- Interim facilities strategy to keep learning uninterrupted throughout construction
Our role is to ensure the vision becomes reality—without timeline slips, scope drift, or disruption to students.
Key Wins
- Kept learning uninterrupted by supporting full interim housing strategy
- Ensured phased demolition + construction aligns with public safety and district schedule
- Integrated bond compliance, community updates, and agency coordination
- 50% design completed with clear, coordinated execution plan
This is more than a school building—it’s a public promise. And public trust is on the line.
RED BRICK protects that trust by making sure this $250M investment delivers not just a building—but a better, safer, and more inspiring place to learn.
