THE GRANADA THEATRE. The project consisted of the renovation and seismic retrofit of a performing arts theater in downtown Santa Barbara. Included in the renovation was a complete demolition and redesign of the stage area, a new basement under the existing floor seating area, and a new attic catwalk system. Both the design and construction were performed in conjunction with the seismic retrofit of the attached 8-story Granada Tower. Originally construction in the 1920's, the lightly-reinforced concrete structure adds significant historical presence to the City of Santa Barbara.

The project included both a renovation and a seismic retrofit.
MUSIC ACADEMY OF THE WEST - MIRAFLORES. Built in the early 1900's, the existing 2-story building in Montecito is constucted of unreinforced masonry (URM).
