The Seismic Upgrade of Spencer Court

Miller Consulting Engineers
A seismic upgrade of the two-story 1918 building damaged by fire. Char was removed from the existing timber beams and remained exposed. The engineers added concrete moment frames allowing for a continuous glass storefront which helped it blend in with its more contemporary neighbors. Their design also allows for a future roof deck and 90-foot self-supporting elevator with a sky bridge to the adjoining hotel.
