We’re honored to invite you to the Grand Opening of Alondra Gateway Park with Assemblymember Mike Gipson on Thursday, April 10th, 2025. This exciting milestone marks the completion of the first phase of the Compton Creek Implementation Plan, turning a once-vacant lot into an inviting, community-driven green space. Alondra Gateway Park is rooted in equity and sustainability, reflecting LA’s resilience, collaborative spirit, and the transformative power of community-led design. This thoughtfully designed half-acre park features native plantings, public art installations, and parking that services the beloved Sr. Cliff’s Texas Style Burritos, all crafted to foster wellness and strengthen neighborhood connections. In partnership with the Compton community, state representatives, San Gabriel & Lower Los Angeles Rivers & Mountains Conservancy, Skanska SIS, CWE, and KASA Construction, Studio-MLA led the design and implementation of this initiative, addressing the critical need for safe, accessible, and environmentally-conscious public spaces.

'With a stunning architectural vision for the building created by MAD architects, a dynamic design for the park and gardens created by Studio-MLA, and Stantec as executive architect leading a talented team through the process of realizing the vision and construction, the Lucas Museum’s campus will be an innovative new cultural landmark for Los Angeles.' 💫

We're calling it "Throwback Tuesday" #TBT today to revisit an inspiring discussion our principal Benjamin Feldmann participated in at Bisnow's LA Architecture and Design Summit earlier this month. 🏙️ The dialogue around #Decarbonization, #UrbanForests, #StreetsForAll, #EquitableAccess, and #AdvocacyByDesign is critical as we reimagine the future of our cities. 🌿 Thank you, Bisnow, for creating a space for these important conversations in our design community. 💪

As part of LA County’s Measure W Safe Clean Water Program, Studio-MLA is working on the LA Sanitation & Environment project to rehabilitate MacArthur Park Lake to capture stormwater, enhance water quality, and create pleasant spaces for recreation, education and community gathering at the park. Below the surface, stormwater will be collected for treatment through a new pump system, diverting pollutants that would otherwise be headed towards Ballona Creek. Above the surface, a series of terraced aquatic wetlands will circulate lake water for filtering while creating a vibrant park space with educational signage for community to learn about the Safe Clean Water Program. Thanks for the feature, Urbanize LA! And shoutout to the amazing project team: Carollo Engineers, Craftwater Engineering, and Mujeres de la Tierra #LandscapeArchitecture #MacArthurParkRehabilitation #LASafeCleanWater
