The seismic retrofit project at 351 California St in San Francisco, CA, lasted 8 months and included several major improvements. Key elements of the project were the installation of three dampening braced frames situated in the ground, mezzanine, and second levels to enhance the building’s seismic resilience. Additionally, a new LULA elevator was added to improve accessibility for all users. Upgrades were also made to the bathrooms to ensure full ADA compliance. This comprehensive approach not only strengthened the building but also ensured that it met modern accessibility standards.
