Inglewood Unified outlines $232M Inglewood High School rebuild; draft EIR open for 45‑day review
Summary
District staff presented details of a $232 million reconstruction of Inglewood High School, including 53 new classrooms, CTE buildings and a draft environmental impact report now in a 45‑day public comment period ending in early February; lease‑leaseback procurement with Balfour Beatty is underway.
District staff on Jan. 14 gave the board a detailed update on the reconstruction of Inglewood High School, a $232 million project that will add 53 new classrooms across six new buildings and a large career technical education (CTE) hub.
Mister Miles, who led the campus presentation, said the project is being delivered using a lease‑leaseback approach with Balfour Beatty as the lease‑leaseback contractor. The approach is intended to generate a guaranteed maximum price (GMP) for large work packages and to reduce the likelihood of change orders, staff said.
Key facts presented: - Project budget cited at $232,000,000. - Scope includes 53 classrooms, six new buildings, and two buildings focused on pathway and CTE programs (Building 5 and Building 6). - The CTE buildings together were described as approximately 36,000 square feet of new learning space for career and technical education and arts/media/entertainment programming. - The district placed the draft Environmental Impact Report (EIR) in public review; the public comment period is 45 days and ends in early February. Paper copies were noted to be available at the district office and Inglewood United for review, and an electronic copy is on the district website.
Miles walked the board through the design packages being submitted to the Division of the State Architect (DSA) in groups; package 1 was already submitted, and package 2 (the CTE buildings) was to be submitted next month. Staff emphasized community outreach: meetings with the facilities advisory committee and the citizens bond oversight committee, and plans for continued public updates.
Board members asked about modernization work to the gym and auditorium; Miles said that work is scheduled and largely focuses on code compliance, ADA upgrades and exterior painting to match new campus aesthetics.
What happens next: package submissions to DSA, continued bid processes to establish the GMP, and community comment on the draft EIR during the 45‑day review period. Staff said regular board updates will continue as design and permitting progress.
