Balfour Beatty and HMC Architects are awarded a $28 million design-build contract for the construction of Los Angeles County’s (LA County) San Gabriel Valley Aquatic Center in West Puente Valley, California. The highly anticipated, joint-use community center will provide vital aquatic and recreational resources for San Gabriel Valley residents and students of Hacienda-La Puente Unified School District (HLPUSD).

Managed by LA County Public Works on behalf of LA County Department of Parks and Recreation, the San Gabriel Valley Aquatic Center will feature a new swimming facility and community park on a 3.1-acre site located within the former campus of Temple Academy elementary school. Balfour Beatty and HMC Architects will provide design and construction services for the aquatic center which includes the delivery of an Olympic-sized, 50-meter competitive swimming pool, a smaller practice and recreational pool, shaded bleachers and swim team areas, and state-of-the-art amenities to facilitate competitive swimming events and water sports.
