The two-acre Port of Los Angeles storage yard was leased by the City of Los Angeles Harbor Department to the Pacific Maritime Association (PMA) for the development of a equipment maintenance and repair training facility for the International Longshore Workers Union (ILWU). The building was designed to help facilitate a workforce development program for longshore workers.
The structure is a 20,000 sf. pre-engineered metal building providing modular classroom space and on-the-job training areas, which include heavy equipment such as forklifts, column lifts, welding stations, a jibcrane, and truck chassis. The project scope also included associated underground utilities, sitework and landscaping. Mason Builders managed design, LADBS permitting and inspections, construction and procurement and installation of owner equipment.
