Constructed in 1912, the building originally housed compressed air and hydraulic power-generation equipment and served as an electrical substation that transformed and distributed electrical power for a 69-acre shipyard along San Francisco’s waterfront.
This LEED Platinum redevelopment includes a two-story classroom and science building, temporary modular classrooms and remodeled classrooms and lounge areas.
When the 95-year-old buildings that comprise Alameda High School could not meet California seismic standards, the Alameda Unified School District decided to tackle a major upgrade and retrofit that would also provide a 21st-century learning environment.
Located at the center of a densely populated and active campus, the 30,000-sq-ft Burbank Auditorium was completely transformed from the inside out, providing significant upgrades to circulation, interior design, technology, building systems, seismic and theatrical production systems while also incorporating a 5,000-sq-ft addition.
This 55,000-sq-ft facility hosts 36 private inpatient rooms and inpatient and outpatient specialized support facilities designed after extensive benchmarking studies, tours of other facilities and academic peer reviews.
