Hello everyone,
I've recently done some reading on LAUSD's construction program from the 70s-90s and the Belmont Learning Complex caught my attention. This is the construction site that was nearly built, but had to be demolished and re-built in the 90s due to earthquake fault, methane, etc. The school currently sits in the Temple-Beaudry area, near the Vista Hermosa park. The LA City Oil Fields went right through the site of this project.
I've found a few images from the
LAPL, but not much else. I've found a few old articles about financial mismanagement, turmoil in the 1990s school board, but again, not a whole lot.
Apologies in advance if this isn't the appropriate forum to post this. Might any of you have more details, historical artifacts, etc., on this project? The project went by several names: Belmont Learning Complex, Roybal Learning Complex, Central High School #11. They settled on the Roybal Learning Complex name.
Thank you everyone.
