Groundbreaking for Education First's LA Campus

October 2, 2019

Education First

SoCal Rentals provided screens, projectors, audio and video systems to Education First's ceremony.

I believe the children are our future,

Teach them well and let them lead the way.

Not only are these lyrics sung by the incomparable Whitney Houston, they are words in which we at SoCal Rentals believe. Education is important and we strive to support that. Recently, our rental house was able to be part of an exciting event in the world of education. A new international school had a groundbreaking ceremony and SoCal Rentals provided the screens, projectors, audio and video systems. This new school, Education First Academy Pasadena, is an international Switzerland-based boarding school for students 13-19 years of age. The school plans to open in 2020.

EF Academy has been working closely with the City of Pasadena to reuse and update the former campus of the William Carey International University, preserving buildings such as McGavran Hall, a potential Pasadena Historic Landmark candidate. They aim to keep the history and character of Pasadena intact while at the same time creating a modern and academically rigorous campus with space for world class cultural events as well as cutting edge science, research, and technology. Retrofitting and repurposing the William Carey campus is making this goal possible.

 As a beautiful symbol of this repurposing, or recycling, of the campus there was a surprise performance at the groundbreaking ceremony. Attendees were treated to music by the Recycled Orchestra of Cateura, Paraguay. The Recycled Orchestra is composed of children playing instruments created out of trash from the Cateura landfill. If you’ve never heard of them, check out their documentary “Landfillharmonic.” They are an amazing orchestra and it is a heartwarming story. SoCal Rentals was honored to have our quality equipment used by this charming orchestra.

 In the words of the great Nelson Mandela, “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.” We at SoCal Rentals are pleased to support local education such as what is being created at Education First Academy Pasadena.
