Project Overview
MEP engineering for the Slauson Connect Recreation Center project supports the development of a new community recreation facility located at 1301 West Slauson Avenue in Los Angeles, California. The project includes a new three-story, approximately 33,000-square-foot recreation building and an adjoining community park designed to provide valuable recreational and educational resources for the surrounding neighborhood.
The new facility incorporates state-approved modular construction and includes spaces for childcare, classrooms, community activities, and administrative support. The project required a coordinated MEP engineering approach to integrate building systems with the modular construction methodology while supporting the functional needs of a modern community facility.
Project Scope
MEP engineering services include mechanical, electrical, and plumbing design for the new recreation center. The project was developed with two engineering scope options: one including complete MEP design within the modular building construction, and a second assuming the modular manufacturer would provide the internal MEP systems, limiting the engineering scope to supporting infrastructure and coordination.
Engineering efforts focus on delivering reliable building systems, coordinating utility services, and integrating modular construction with site infrastructure to support efficient installation and long-term facility performance.
