The historic renovation of this 1912 building has allowed the return of students after an absence of more than 30 years due to structural and code deficiencies. The completed project provides a new kitchen and cafeteria, expanded student services, school district offices, and a new boardroom for use by the School Board and City Council.

The challenge of this project was to bring the building into compliance with the California Building Code without compromising its historic status. The solution was to place a new structural steel frame and concrete foundation within the building’s wood-frame and stone-exterior shell. The entire mechanical and electrical system for the building was also replaced, and the interior finishes and fixtures were replaced with those more consistent with the original construction.

A couple of discoveries by the mechanical engineer resulted in some very unique solutions. The original brass lever thermostats that had long been abandoned were cleaned up, polished, and re-installed for use with the new mechanical system. In addition, the original return grilles, which over the years had been painted, turned out to be solid brass. These grilles were restored to their original condition, and are also an active component of the new ventilation system.
