The New Compton High School

In 2015, Compton voters approved Measure S, a $350 million bond measure to fund the construction of the new Compton High School, originally built in 1896.  The new campus will open in August, 2025 for the beginning of the new school year and fall semester.

In 2016, the architectural firm, DLR Group was awarded the project. The construction project is supported by the building project management consulting firm Cumming Group, and the construction firm chosen was Swinerton. 

In 2017, a strategy for funding opportunities was established in May, 2017 including a $10 million donation from the Grammy Award winning artist and philanthropist Dr. Dre (Andre Young) specifically for the school’s new Performing Arts Center. The new school will feature keystone-shaped learning suites to support project-based learning and interdepartmental collaboration. 

In 2023, D&D Learning Spaces was chosen by the District to be the furniture vendor and partner with DLR Group and Cumming to complete the interior and outdoor design and furniture installation for the entire campus. 

In May 2025, D&D Learning Spaces completed the FF&E for the entire school. On May 22, 2025 the District celebrated the completion of the school by having a ribbon cutting ceremony and Dr. Dre was the featured speaker. The D&D team was there to cheer all the speakers and show our support to the school community and Compton Unified School District.
