LACCD also is a leader in environmentally responsible construction. Thanks to its $14.9 billion bond program, LACCD is modernizing its colleges and building more than 40 new structures District-wide that will meet LEED™ (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) standards. In addition, the LACCD is generating solar power on its campuses and taking other steps to reduce the colleges’ carbon footprint.
The $14.9 billion capital improvement program is made possible through the five voter-approved bond measures: 2001 (Proposition A: $1.245 billion), 2003 (Proposition AA: $980 million) 2008 (Measure J: $3.5 billion), and 2016 (Measure CC: $3.3 billion), and 2022 (Measure LA: $5.3 billion).
