Pankow provided Design-Build services for the new 24,000 SF Community Services Center at Los Angeles Valley College. Organized into three distinct zones, the building integrates instructional spaces, activity/recreation areas, and administrative offices. The facility supports a wide variety of community and student activities including lecture programs, arts, wellness, and athletics.

Additional campus improvements included a new Alumni Walk, athletic events plaza, football practice field, and expanded parking. Delivered on an active campus with safety as the top priority, the project achieved LEED® Gold certification.

Expanding Campus Life

The LAVC Community Services Center was envisioned as a hub for both students and the surrounding community. Designed around flexibility, the facility houses spaces for academic programs, recreational activities, arts, and wellness. The project also included key sitework enhancements that improved the overall student experience, such as the Alumni Walk, practice fields, and athletics plaza. Delivered through Design-Build with BIM technology, the project demonstrates how innovative tools and collaborative planning can maximize value while maintaining safety on an active college campus.
