The Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) is building several new schools, four of which are being planned by different architects, with structural design by Thornton Tomasetti. The District wanted to implement the use of design in REVIT for all new projects and the architects selected Thornton Tomasetti based on its early adaptation of REVIT, along with the firm’s history of success with the LAUSD and a demonstrated expertise in the design of schools.
