Switzer Learning Center is proud to announce that its campus, located in Torrance, California, has been selected as the District 4 Outstanding Property Winner in the 2025 Torrance Commercial Beautification Awards, presented by the City of Torrance Environmental Quality and Energy Conservation Commission (TEQECC).
The award recognizes local businesses that demonstrate exceptional pride in the maintenance, appearance and environmental stewardship of their commercial properties.
“We are honored to be recognized by the City of Torrance,” said Jeremy Deming, Executive Director of Switzer Learning Center. “Over the past year, we’ve implemented improvements that not only enhance our campus but also reflect our commitment to sustainability and creating an environment where our neurodiverse students thrive. These upgrades have been meaningful not just for our students and staff, but for the surrounding community. We’re grateful for the City’s recognition and proud to continue our commitment to Torrance after nearly six decades of service.”
Recent enhancements include:
- Replacing all campus grass with water-efficient artificial turf, reducing water use and ongoing maintenance
- Re-landscaping the cul-de-sac island in partnership with the City of Torrance, adding drought-tolerant and native plants
- Installing new perimeter fencing to support campus safety and neighborhood aesthetics
Deming attended the December 4 recognition ceremony, alongside Switzer’s Director of Facilities and IT, Jason Steen, where TEQECC commissioners presented honorees with certificates acknowledging their contributions to the city’s beautification and environmental quality.
