The Los Angeles Community College District is working hand-inhand with each of its nine campuses in order to make adjustments to its Building Program after a pause in construction was put into place by the district late last year.

The moratorium was originally implemented in order to determine whether, considering heavy state funding cuts, it could afford to maintain and operate the projects under its 14 year, $6 billion Building Program.

The postponement also addresses the issues of the effects of a $100 million shortfall and the possible change in the needs of the nine campuses in the decade since the Building Program’s bond measure was approved.

“The space planning was not necessarily the best it could be,” Coby King, media contact for the LACCD, said.

The building projects under the moratorium are in varying stages of planning, building and design, but none of them have begun construction.

There are currently 96 projects, budgeted at $1.7 billion, under the moratorium, according to the final expanded moratorium list released by the district last month.
