Architecture school caught in downtown legal tangle
*In a three-sided legal battle, Sci-Arc's leaders fight over control of
their campus.
By Christopher Reynolds, Times Staff Writer
Even before its leaders took over an abandoned railroad freight depot as
its campus five years ago, the Southern California Institute of
Architecture was known for daring its students to take risks, tangle
with urban troubles and think big.
But nobody's lesson plan included the case study now being written in
Department 18 of Los Angeles County Superior Court. In a three-sided
legal battle, Sci-Arc's leaders are fighting over control of their
campus with their landlord and one of the city's best-connected real
estate businessmen, Richard Meruelo.
