Earvin “Magic” Johnson Park Project

This suite of USG Ceilings Plus® products were a highlight of the recently revamped Earvin “Magic” Johnson park in the Willowbrook neighborhood of Los Angeles, CA.

The 104-acre park, which is named for the NBA Hall-of-Famer and Lakers legend, plays an important role in improving water quality in Los Angeles County. The renovation project was devised to improve the way that water flows on the Los Angeles River so that it can be better utilized. Previously, excess water was prone to pooling up, ultimately leading to evaporation.

USG Ceilings Plus® products were to be used in enhancing the interior aesthetics and acoustic performance of the project’s centerpiece: a 20,000-square-foot community center acting as the focal point of the park, capable of hosting events such as conferences, educational programs, and other large gatherings. Working with a local designer at Paul Murdoch Architects, USG was tasked with fulfilling their vision efficiently and effectively.

Through a combination of Barz®, Illusions®, and Wallforms™, USG brought clean, beautiful products into a wonderful community space. Additionally, USG was supported by local partner Performance Contracting Inc., ensuring that the space would be ready to receive visitors with a quick and productive install..
