Students at Los Angeles Valley College will no longer be attending classes in in bungalows strung across the campus thanks to construction of a new academic complex.
The college is demolishing the 1950s-era bungalows to make way for the new facility, reports Los Angeles Daily News.
Each bungalow was a different size and built on a raised foundation. They were originally built to last 10 years, according to school officials.
The $90.5 million facility to replace the bungalows will be known as Academic Complex 1 and will have 36 classrooms, computer labs and 90 faculty and staff offices.
The 80,000-square-foot building will have natural atrium ventilation, forest-certified hardwood stairs and drought-tolerant landscaping. It is designed to be LEED certified.
Revitalization of the historic quad is also planned along with a new entrance onto the campus from Burbank Boulevard.
Construction is expected to be completed in 2025.
