Los Angeles, CA (Oct. 7, 2011) – The design/build team of McCarthy Building Companies, Inc., and TAYLOR recently completed construction of the $20-million Martin Luther King, Jr. Center for Public Health (top left photo), located on the north end of the Martin Luther King, Jr. Medical Center Campus in Los Angeles.
The new building replaces the existing South Health Center which was originally constructed in the 1950s. The first building to kick off the community redevelopment plan in the Willowbrook area, the new center will provide an additional 12,000 square feet of space for public health programs and services once it opens during a formal ribbon cutting ceremony on October 7, 2011.
Designed to engage the local community, the form and materials of the MLK Public Health Center are welcoming.
“Recognizing the important role that the clinic is destined to play in the revival of the entire district and in the health and wellbeing of the local residents, we conceived the building as a beacon — a source of guidance, help and inspiration,” said TAYLOR project designer and manager, Harbans Ghatoade (lower right photo).
Project consultants involved in the Martin Luther King, Jr. Center for Public Health project included KPFF for structural and civil engineering, GLUMAC for mechanical and electrical engineering and American Landscape as the landscape architect.
