The first of 40+ shipping containers arrives at the new Heart of Los Angeles (HOLA) facility. The modular containers create the framework for the Lafayette Park facility which will house the Youth Orchestra of Los Angeles and have a large ensemble room, two small ensemble rooms, 18 classrooms, four smart start club rooms, and five offices, as well as the capability to open to the park for public performances. The shipping containers were all assembled within two weeks of the first container being delivered.
