The Baldwin Park Auto Center is the first automotive training center for the automotive career pathway offered in the Baldwin Park Unified School District. The facility functions as a space of automotive educational training for high school students in pursuit of Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) certification. The program came about due to results of surveys and data assessment from within the district that indicated the potential of a positive economic impact within the community.The pattern of columns and openings provides a sense of movement and directionality that parallels Badillo Avenue and the direction of traffic. The high thin roof and exposed materials call upon inspiration from Ed Ruscha’s 1966 “Standard Station” screen prints, which capture the strength and movement of American filling station vernacular. Order and repetitive elements, durability of materials, and low maintenance speak to the aesthetic of the machine that is at the center of the automotive training program.Passive heating and cooling systems are implemented throughout the building to provide optimal comfort for users. Large overhangs provide shade while ribbon windows and deepened lintels below provide light shelves that bounce natural light into the garage while reducing solar gain. The exposed finish of the galvanized metal roof deck ensures the garage has a light and open feeling. Roll up doors are utilized on the north, south and west elevations to allow for cross ventilation throughout the work areas.This project is exciting for the all of the parties involved, including support by local automotive businesses, dealerships, and high performance auto customizing specialists. The automotive training program curriculum strives to implement employer-specific needs through internship activities designed in collaboration with the Automotive Youth Educational System (AYES) mentorship program that works to place interns in the garages of these supportive businesses.
