Los Angeles USD – East Los Angeles Occupational Center (ELAOC)

Expanding Opportunity

Serving the Boyle Heights community since 1969, the East Los Angeles Occupational Center provides affordable career technical education to approximately 8,400 students each year. The Classroom Replacement Project renews this long-standing campus with modern facilities designed to support evolving workforce training and student success.

A Campus Reimagined

Much of the original 1970s campus no longer met current standards and relied heavily on portable classrooms. The project replaces outdated structures with permanent, purpose-built learning environments while introducing site improvements that strengthen functionality, safety, and campus identity.

Built for Today’s Standards

Delivered through a Design-Build approach, this 2.7-acre redevelopment integrates demolition, new construction, and infrastructure upgrades into a coordinated transformation. Every element aligns with LAUSD requirements, ADA accessibility standards, and all applicable regulatory frameworks.

Investing in Community

More than a facilities upgrade, the project represents an investment in access, equity, and workforce preparation, ensuring the campus continues to serve as a vital educational resource for generations of learners.
