About the Project
Orthopedic Hospital Medical Magnet High School is located in Los Angeles. Students from the Los Angeles Unified School District who are interested in medical and science can apply for enrollment.

Real Estate Development
Hensel Phelps Real Estate Development completed the development and construction of the new Orthopaedic Hospital Medical Magnet High School. At the time, the project was awarded under a new contracting approach by the LAUSD. Hensel Phelps Real Estate Development was responsible for providing construction financing for the project and, upon completion, sold the project back to LAUSD. This project demonstrated Hensel Phelps Real Estate Development’s strengths and expertise in the areas of real estate development, project financing, Public Private Partnerships (P3) and project management/owner’s representation.
Construction
This high school is made up of two two-story buildings that are constructed about 250 feet apart from each other with covered canopies and a covered lunch shelter between the buildings. The basketball and volleyball courts are also located between the buildings. The high school includes a large multipurpose room, cafeteria, media center, bookstore, administration offices, weight room and 32 classrooms.
