It is the signature adornment on a new arts-oriented public high school that will cost roughly $230 million. "art oriented" high school. What is that?

One that costs 230 million dollars. This way, they don’t have to buy books and paper and other stuff.

The "helix" tower rises 140 feet above the school's 950-seat performing arts theater, and hovers over the 101 Freeway. "It's a symbol for dynamic thinking," said architect Karolin Schmidbaur.ROTFLOL!!!

The Belmont Learning Center only a couple of miles away was abandoned when costs hit $250,000,000. It started at about $70,000,000.
The LA school board will never, ever learn.
To: NormsRevenge
Oh!
I was wondering how somebody got permission to put up a water slide across the freeway from Our Lady of Angels Cathedral.

It started at about $70,000,000.In 1975, the tri-county area of N.J where I lived build a brand new state of the art high school for $3 million, which we thought was a astounding amount of money

Nah....it’s the voters who will never learn. The “Board” should be run out of town on a rail.

It looks like it was built from a bunch of miscellaneous ship pieces,, a disjointed mess.
Very symbolic of the state’s Gubamint and its leaders these days..

You should see our new libraries, they tore down the 1950’s libraries and built new 1950’s libraries. UGLY. I guess you have to be Mexican to appreciate them.

It’s ugly as hell, the spawn of the Frank Ghery school of architecture, with twisted metal and massive gaps in the structure.
