VA West LA Veteran’s Campus Development

KPFF is currently providing civil engineering and project management support for the revitalization of the West LA Veteran’s Community, on its 388-acre campus in Los Angeles. The revitalization will ultimately support 900+ homes for formerly homeless veterans in Los Angeles, providing a vibrant, cohesive, and supportive residential neighborhood for homeless and at-risk Veterans and their families. The campus is undergoing a campus-wide rehabilitation, with improvements that include historic housing structures, new homes, domestic and fire water infrastructure, street and utility infrastructure, redevelopment of parks, rehabilitation of historic buildings, and LID strategies to support the local MS4.
