Board pulls funding for design program

From archpaper.com: Last year the Los Angeles Unified School District announced an innovative program to design contemporary, prefabricated prototype buildings that could serve as new school facilities or as temporary classrooms. The goal: structures that would be easy to build and maintain, and also be affordable and flexible. By this spring most projects had made it through design development, but the school board has reallocated funding and put the program on hold.
