Los Angeles, CA – October 24, 2011 – (RealEstateRama) — Construction has begun on HGA Architects and Engineers’ redesign of Los Angeles City College’s Clausen Hall, a 60,000-square-foot facility for the school’s music department at the 78-year-old Los Angeles campus. HGA’s $13 million modernization and systems upgrade will expand the college’s popular music department with a renovated recital hall and new lecture hall while creating a visually striking entrance to the campus. The project, due for a 2012 completion, is an example of HGA’s continuing core expertise in designing visual and performing arts facilities.
