Our team focused on seismically retrofitting the building while preserving the iconic architectural features inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright. The project incorporated innovative technologies, including yielding braces, composite epoxy fibers, and FEMA 273 Performance-Based Design principles, to enhance structural resilience. The retrofit was carefully executed to maintain the building’s unique character while allowing daily operations to continue uninterrupted.
