Development permits have been submitted seeking the approval of a new public charter middle school campus at 14203 West Valerio Street, Van Nuys. The project proposal includes the demolition of an existing single-family dwelling and accessory structures and constructing the school campus. Franco Architects Inc is managing the design concept and construction of the project.
Girls Athletic Leadership Schools is an organization founded in 2010 that creates gender-based schools around the country. The proposed project will enable GALS Los Angeles to vacate its current co-location at Panorama City High School, and establish an independent and permanent campus, the organization’s first in the City

A new two-story building spanning over an area of 23,294 square feet is proposed. The building facade will rise to a height of twenty-one feet. The campus will also include an outdoor athletic field and running track; an outdoor lunch pavilion; and a surface parking lot with 38 vehicular parking spaces and a designated drop-off/pick-up area for students. The project will also provide a total of 70 bicycle parking stalls: 68 short-term; and two long-term parking stalls.
