Demolition, site work and addition to an educational facility in Bell Gardens, California. Conceptual plans call for the addition of a educational facility; for the demolition of a educational facility; and for site work for a educational facility.

Bell High School, located on Gage Avenue in Bell, California, serves a student body that is predominantly Hispanic/Latino at 94.3% of approximately 2,259 students, with 89% eligible for free or reduced-price lunch Grokipedia — one of the more economically disadvantaged campuses in LAUSD. The school has long relied on aging portable structures (Department of Housing relocatables) for classroom space, which the district is now replacing with permanent construction. The project includes construction of a new two-story building with 19 classrooms, incorporating seismic retrofitting to enhance structural integrity, along with ADA accessibility features such as ramps and elevators. No contractor has broken ground, and no specific construction start or completion date has been publicly announced. The project must clear California's Division of the State Architect (DSA) review and approval process — a mandatory step for all public school construction in California — before construction can begin. Given the project's scale and the complexity of building a new permanent structure on an active high school campus, phased construction to maintain ongoing campus operations is the expected approach, similar to other large LAUSD classroom replacement projects. *Project information has been obtained through a public capital improvement plan (CIP). A CIP is a financial schedule for short- and long-range projects which is updated regularly. Information listed in the CIP often evolves based on funding availability and the project details, including timeline and value, are subject to change.
