detroit architecture firm rossetti, along with los angeles-based perkins+will, are leading the design for recently announced headquarters and training facility for the LA lakers. the 120,000ft² building is to be located in el segundo, california, and will consolidate the franchise’s athletics and business needs under a single roof.

‘it was important to the busses (lakers’ owners) for the design to reflect their values, and create synergy between all aspects of the organization.’ says  matt rossetti, president of rossetti. ‘our team held several immersive workshops with the lakers to explore their goals and vision. the design concept developed through these sessions, particularly the effort to express integration, partnership, and legacy’. the facility is slated for completion in 2017; currently, the team trains at the toyota sports center, shared by the kings and sparks.
