LACCD Pierce College Child Development Academic Facility

The new Child Development Academic Facility consolidates departmental office space with dedicated instructional space in a modern facility directly adjacent to the college’s operating childcare facility. Suffolk Design played a design management role through the design phase leading up to a full DSA review and approval process. Throughout the design phase, the Design Manager worked closely with the AOR and Design Architect to optimize the design while meeting the district’s and building user group’s project goals. Suffolk Design performed constructability and value analysis reviews and ensured that issues were addressed prior to DSA approval, which was received September 2023.
