Construction is complete on LA3, a new CoreSite Data Center in Downtown Los Angeles. LA3 is an expansion to the landmark United States Postal Terminal Annex, which was renovated and restored in 2001 into CoreSite’s current LA2 Data Center.
Located at 200 Bauchet St, north of the 101 Fwy and east of Alameda St, LA3 is a 180k sf, four-story building consisting of 45k sf floorplates. The project was designed by Johnson Fain, which was also responsible for the LA2 project.
LA3’s design features a horizontally articulated metal façade with strong graphic patterns and texture. A signature canopy, stair tower and corner entrance to the secure building separates the new building from the original historical building, per the guidelines of the U.S. Department of the Interior.
At the pedestrian level large board formed pilasters provide scale and engage the variegated planter boxes. This variety in detail gives a visitor a sense of place and interest in what would be otherwise a forgotten street in Los Angeles.
