We were honored to join community leaders, students, and organizers at the groundbreaking for the Heart of Los Angeles' (HOLA) new facility located in Downtown's Lafayette Park.

HOLA is a non-profit charity providing academic and cultural programs for Los Angeles students aged 6-24. Their volunteer led organization engages students in character and community building after-school programs in music, arts, sciences, and athletics.

The new facility will house the Ensemble Room, a multi-functional event and practice space that will open up to the adjoining park for public performances and other activities. The building is designed using re-purposed shipping containers and is planned to open Fall of 2018.
