The 33-acre Compton High School campus redevelopment project consisted of a complete ground-up educational facility buildout delivered over a 33-month construction schedule utilizing more than 100,000 IBEW Local 11 manhours with a peak workforce exceeding 50 electricians. The modern campus includes multiple interconnected facilities designed to support advanced academic, athletic, performing arts, and career technical education programs. Major campus components include a new academic building, gymnasium, pool facility, football stadium with visitor and press facilities, tennis courts, outdoor basketball courts, three parking lots, and the state-of-the-art “Dr. Dre” Performing Arts Center.

The project incorporated highly advanced electrical, lighting, audiovisual, and technology systems across all campus facilities.
