Renovation of an educational facility in Los Angeles, California. Working plans call for the renovation of a educational facility.

TIMELINE: As of September 9, 2026, final design is underway. A construction manager has been selected. Construction is scheduled to begin October 2026 and be completed May 2029. The project includes core and shell improvements at UCLA Research Park East, located at 10800 West Pico Boulevard, Los Angeles, to enable it to support future biomedical research and quantum physics laboratories. Formerly a shopping mall, the property was undergoing conversion to office space for a single tenant at the time of acquisition by the University. As part of the core and shell work at Research Park East, the structure shall be retrofitted to accommodate vibration-sensitive quantum physics and biomedical research laboratories. A new vibration or seismic separation shall be introduced to allow the eastern third of the building to be developed in a separate future phase. The partially constructed mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems installed for the former tenant's office functions shall be removed and replaced to provide new points of connection for future tenant improvement projects. Portions of the basement parking level and the existing loading dock shall be floodproofed to protect these areas and support future vibration- and light-sensitive programming. The at-grade loading dock shall be upgraded to serve the first phase of tenant improvements in advance of the possible future construction of a second loading dock to support full buildout in the future. Estimated Construction Cost: Up to $310,000,000 Shortlist Confirmed
