Despite the Los Angeles Times laying off a staggering 200 staffers in January, construction has now begun expanding its El Segundo campus, TheWrap has learned.
“Construction of the final piece of the Los Angeles Times El Segundo campus has begun,” staffers were notified via an internal email on Tuesday. “Once completed, the new building, in between the offices and parking structure, will house the mailroom, dedicated space to preserve The Times archives and a gallery designed to host exhibits and events for the public.”
Quipped a staffer who forwarded the memo to TheWrap: “I could have sworn we were broke.”
