The new LAPD Headquarters, for which AECOM did architectural work, is reviewed in the Los Angeles Times and at Design & Architecture at KCRW.com. The Times's Christopher Hawthorne refers to AECOM architects Paul Dana's and Jose Palacios's work, writing that "Collectively, these gestures have adroitly turned the LAPD's anxieties about security—which are also, frankly, anxieties about the contemporary city—into a force for effective urbanism." KCRW writes that the headquarters "is in key ways a civic space."

Architect Magazine talks about Ellerbe Becket joining AECOM.
