The five-year extension will have Jacobs oversee more than $3.3 billion in active construction projects, including housing, sustainability initiatives, IT modernisation, and general capital improvements across the district’s nine colleges, which serve about 250,000 students and faculty.

It’s a continuation of a long-standing track record with LACCD, with Jacobs completing nearly 200 projects to substantial completion over the past seven years and initiating 475 new construction and modernisation projects.
