Project Overview
Considered the first phase of the New Performing Arts Complex project, the Wilshire Chiller Plant will be relocated adjacent to its original location to accommodate the future construction of the New Performing Arts Complex in its original building footprint. The facilities deliver temperature control to the buildings in its vicinity, including the Wilshire Center. The new facility will provide the same service to the current buildings in addition to the new Performing Arts Complex. The relocation of the infrastructure will be carried in coordination with the local utility, Southern California Edison (SCE).
